The institute now has a purpose-built 30,000 square feet on the first floor of the new hospital block. There is space for at least 20 medium sized groups and 4-5 larger scientific groups. A purpose built animal house facility that extends the current one is being developed on the top floor. The institute will have core facilities to do modern science that will be shared between groups. The core service is an important part of developing such a facility, particularly with respect to newer technologies which are important for doing modern molecular biology. This includes the general molecular techniques comprising sequencing, micro-array facility and other facilities required to run a modern laboratory, which is to be shared between groups. It will also include the development of a good animal house and the establishment of facility where antibodies can be made. Proteomics is increasingly becoming and important tool and the institute plans to set up a system to collaborate with another centre which has such a facility.
