Call for 2020 SGRF Excellence in Science Award

The SciGenom Research Foundation (SGRF) is a not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to promoting science in India through research and education. It conducts its own research activities in multiple areas that are not typically well funded by the Government or private sector.
