Manchester-IISC Bangalore
The University of Manchester and the Indian Institute of Science are pleased to announce a new research fund to support collaborative research projects and to build on their existing partnership.
About the fund
The fund aims to establish new collaborations, facilitate work on proof-of-concept ideas, and in the long term, build international teams well positioned to apply for external research funding.
Proposals may include targeted research support such as joint workshops, researcher exchanges, and forming or developing a collaborative network. To be eligible, a proposal must include a Principle Investigator from each institution and at least one other researcher on each team. We encourage early career researchers to apply.
In the inaugural call, four projects were funded:
| University lead | Faculty | School | IISc lead | Research project title |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Prof Martin Lowe |
Biology, Medicine and Health | School of Biological Sciences | Dr Sachin Kotak | Deciphering the role of membrane lipids in cell division |
