Project MANAV

Department of Biotechnology (DBT) launched MANAV: Human Atlas Initiative towards improving knowledge on human physiology where Indian scientists will map every single tissue of the human body so to have a deeper understanding of tissues and cells linked to various diseases.

• It will involve gaining better biological insights through physiological and molecular mapping, develop disease models through predictive computing and have a holistic analysis and finally drug discovery.
• It is a project funded by DBT, which aims at creating a database network of all tissues in the human body from the available scientific literature.
