“MSP enables us to significantly accelerate our research efforts through hiring new team members and performing more sophisticated experiments and analyses. It is with their support that we hope to transform the landscape of kidney cancer care.”
Ritesh Kotecha, MD, Genitourinary Oncology and Cellular Therapy
Established in 2022, the Mazumdar Shaw Translational Research Initiative has opened up exciting opportunities across the entire spectrum of kidney cancer research and care. It has significantly boosted research programmes, enabling multidisciplinary teams of highly specialised physicians and scientists to make impressive strides towards innovative treatments in renal oncology.
Research Focus
- Addressing the challenges surrounding an uncommon kidney cancer variant
- Leveraging the power of cellular therapies for kidney cancer
- Advancing clinical genetics in kidney cancer
- Developing liquid biopsy to monitor immunotherapy
Science Gallery Bengaluru, India Establishment Patron
“We have a strong professional conversation on science in India — but we do not yet have a cultural one. Science Gallery Bengaluru creates a two-way bridge between research and the public in order to shape better conversations on science, and to shape better research with input from society.”
Jahnavi Phalkey, Founding Director, SGB
Science Gallery Bengaluru (SGB) is Asia’s first and India’s only member of Science Gallery International. Its mandate is to bring ‘science back into culture’ through exhibitions, mentorship programmes, and a pioneering public lab complex. MSP founder, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, has been personally involved in envisioning SGB and mentoring its founding team. MSP has co-funded construction of the SGB building.
Since 2019
Enabling diverse ways of engaging with science, through interactive exhibits, connected lectures, tutorials, workshops, masterclasses, events, film screenings and discussions
Representing diverse disciplines, from sociology and design to engineering and literature
In a short span of 4 years
INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, INDIA RI Mazumdar Young Investigator Endowment Fund
“Precision healthcare, non-invasive imaging methods and molecular imaging probes are essential to longitudinally monitor disease progress or therapy response.
This fund has been instrumental in developing new chemistries and imaging methods for cancer-specific precision diagnostics and theranostics.”
Dr Sanhita Sinharay, Assistant Professor, Centre for BioSystems Science and Engineering, IISc
MSP has endowed a Chair at India’s premier destination for advanced scientific research, renowned for its academic freedom, excellence in education and innovative, interdisciplinary initiatives. The fund supports bright, young faculty members who undertake cutting edge research in bioengineering and related fields.
