Established in 1984, the Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTECH) is one among the chain of 38 national laboratories functioning under the aegis of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and is its youngest laboratory. Set-up to be a fore-runner in the sun-rise area of Biotechnology, the Institute occupies an area of about 47 acres, of which the labs covered 22 acres and the residential campus 25 acres. The Institute has a built up area of about 3.60 lakh sq. ft., which is spread over five main buildings, namely, Main R&D block (~2.00 lakhs sq. ft.), Fermentation block (~0.50 lakhs sq. ft.), Animal House (~0.30 lakhs sq. ft.), Workshop, Stores and Services area (~0.50 lakhs sq. ft.), and Cafeteria (~0.10 lakhs sq. ft.). The Institute provides functionally modular and large, air-conditioned, clean research areas to all the scientists. The Institute's primary asset is a team of 48 highly motivated young scientists, 36 of whom are Ph.D.s with many of them having several years of training in world-renowned laboratories. Supported by more than 145 well-trained technicians and graduate students, these scientists are engaged in research, both basic and application-oriented, in four major areas namely:
Molecular Biology and Microbial Genetics
Cell Biology and Immunology
Protein Science and Engineering
Fermentation Technology and Applied Microbiology
It is the youngest laboratory among the 38 national laboratories functioning under the aegis of CSIR.
The present director (year 2008) is Girish Sahni. (in Photograph)
