KERALA INITIATIVE ON ANALYTICS, AI AND OPEN SCIENCE FOR RESPONDING TO EPIDEMICS (KAISER)

KERALA INITIATIVE ON ANALYTICS, AI AND OPEN SCIENCE FOR RESPONDING TO EPIDEMICS (KAISER) is a citizen science initiative relying on open science to be able to prepare, understand and respond to epidemics. 
This initiative also endeavours to build the much required skill base, resources, data and technologies to be able to help and cater to similar requirements nationally and globally.

Genomics for Precision Medicine in India

http://guardian.meragenome.com
CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB) has initiated a unique programme on this front, pioneering the application of Genomics for Public Health (IndiGen) in India. The Genomics for Understanding Rare Disease, India Alliance Network (GUaRDIAN) is a large-scale collaborative network of clinicians from around India trying to integrate genomics in clinical practice, with the a singular focus to elucidate the genetic structure of Rare Genetic Diseases in India. Omics for Precise Therapeutic Interventions Minimizing Adverse Events (OPTIMA) is a collaborative initiative towards implementing pharmacogenetics in Clinics.
