Descriptiontext

Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre (GBRC) is an autonomous research institute constituted on 11 August 2017 under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of Gujarat (G.R. No. BTM-102016-299-BT), headquartered at MS Building, 6th Floor, GH Road, Sector 11, Gandhinagar. It was created to consolidate prior Gujarat State Biotechnology Mission (GSBTM) programs - including Genomic Initiatives, Biodiversity Genebank, Bioinformatics, the Genetic Diagnostics Network, Stem Cell Research and Training, Bio-Banking, and the Marine Bio-resource Centre - into a single institute tackling state-priority challenges in healthcare, agriculture, environment, and marine sectors through cutting-edge biotechnology.

The institute is built around five core facility pillars: a Genomics facility anchored on Illumina NovaSeq for next-generation sequencing; a Cell Culture facility (with a BSL-4/ABSL facility in build-out via RFQ dated January 2024); an Analytical facility; a Biobanking and Microbial Repository; and a Supercomputing Bioinformatics facility for computational biology and systems biology. Research is organized into seven domains - Plant, Environmental, Molecular Diagnostics & Therapeutics, Industrial, Marine, Bioinformatics & Systems Biology, and Animal Biotechnology - and supplemented by technology-transfer programs in Agriculture, Environment, and Industrial sectors under an Expression of Interest (EOI) framework.

GBRC is government-funded through state budgetary allocations, with no private capital, and employs 51-100 staff. Its revenue is effectively nominal fee income (training programs such as KAUSHALYA charge ₹4,000-₹10,000 per participant across student, faculty, industry, and international tiers; 15 seats per cohort). Its customers are researchers, academicians, industry partners, and students, with the institute extending shared-lab access to external users through the GBRC Shared Lab & Service Booking System (gbrc.org.in) and a 2025 Shared Lab Guideline. Recent partnerships with IAR and Zydus Research Centre formalize industry-academia training delivery.

The Times of IndiaGujarat turns to DNA to spot sporting championsGujarat's science and technology department, through the Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre, is collecting DNA samples from athletes to build a Gujarat Athlete Genome Database combining genetic, physical and performance data. Officials aim to analyse about 2,000 samples this year and 10,000 over five years, covering 20 sports and age groups, with priority for state and national champions.DevdiscourseCentre deploys National Joint Outbreak Response Team as multi-agency probe into Chandipura virus outbreak intensifiesThe Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has deployed a National Joint Outbreak Response Team to Gujarat and Rajasthan to strengthen the response to the ongoing Chandipura Virus Disease outbreak, with the multidisciplinary team comprising experts from NCDC, ICMR, and the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying. Parallel scientific investigations are underway through a nationwide network of premier research institutions, including whole-genome sequencing at the Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre and active surveillance across human, animal, and vector populations. The coordinated "One Health" approach integrates human, animal, and vector surveillance to understand the virus transmission cycle, clinical spectrum, and potential genetic changes, with researchers also examining whether mosquitoes, ticks, or mites may be involved alongside the established sandfly vector.The TribuneCentre deploys Joint Outbreak Response Team to probe Chandipura virus outbreakThe Union Health Ministry has deployed a National Joint Outbreak Response Team (NJORT) to Gujarat and Rajasthan to strengthen the response to the ongoing Chandipura Virus Disease (CHPV) outbreak, with the multidisciplinary team comprising experts from NCDC, ICMR, and the Department of Animal Husbandry. The investigation involves active surveillance, community-based serosurveys, vector analysis, animal surveillance, and whole-genome sequencing at the Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre to understand the virus transmission cycle and whether genetic changes have occurred. The team will work with state health departments to review the on-ground response and submit recommendations after completing its field assessment, drawing upon lessons from the 2024 Chandipura virus outbreak in Gujarat.India.comDNA to find India's next champions? Gujarat's sports genomics plan sparks debateGujarat has launched a Sports Genomics Programme, with the Department of Science and Technology and the Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre, to study athletes' genetic profiles for sport selection, training and diet. The government allocated Rs 26 crore, planning 2,000 tests annually across 10,000 athletes over five years. The report notes China and Uzbekistan have similar programmes, and that India's sports market is valued at about Rs 5 lakh crore.The Times of IndiaAhmedabad’s wastewater scan shows Covid, hepatitis viruses lurking | Ahmedabad News - The Times of IndiaResearchers from Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre, Gujarat Technological University, and Gujarat Biotechnology University conducted a one-year wastewater surveillance study across four Gujarat cities, collecting samples every two weeks from 24 sewage treatment plants serving an estimated population of 1.65 crore. The study identified 170 DNA and 135 RNA virus species, including Covid, adenovirus, influenza, hepatitis, and rotavirus, with seasonal variations and city-specific prevalence patterns documented. The research, published in the Nature Portfolio Journal Emerging Contaminants, demonstrated the utility of wastewater monitoring as an early warning system for public health threats.India TodayScience Watch | From DNA to diagnosis: Mapping the tribal geneGujarat announced a genome sequencing project for its tribal population, led by the Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre. The initiative will collect samples from over 4,000 tribals across 17 districts and 31 communities, complementing the national Genome India Project's goal of sequencing 10,000 healthy individuals.BusinessLineGujarat becomes 1st State to launch tribal-focussed genome sequencing project: GovtGujarat has launched India's first large-scale genome sequencing project focused on tribal communities, led by the Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre (GBRC) to decode genetic blueprints and develop targeted diagnostics. The initiative aims to address high incidences of inherited conditions like thalassemia and sickle cell anaemia by creating a reference database from DNA samples across 31 tribal communities in 11 districts. This effort, aligned with the national Genome India Project, seeks to enable low-cost, community-specific diagnostic panels and early preventive care through precision medicine.The Indian ExpressGenome mapping of Chandipura virus: what researchers foundThe Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre in Gandhinagar published the first fully mapped genome of Chandipura Vesiculovirus, the virus behind at least a third of encephalitis cases in Gujarat during the July-August outbreak. Researchers found the virus is similar to 2012 isolates with only one amino acid change in glycoprotein-B, no selection pressure to escape immunity, and a high Ct value indicating low viral load.
