Advancing Biomedical Research Through Quality Biospecimen Collection, Processing, Storage & Distribution
Dedicated researchers, clinicians, and scientists advancing biobanking and suicide research through collaborative innovation.
The INDUS (Indian Database for Understanding Suicide) Biobank, established under the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, AIIMS New Delhi, is dedicated to advancing research in molecular biology, molecular forensics, and suicidal biomarkers.
Through the ethical acquisition, preservation, and analysis of brain and blood samples, INDUS serves as a high-integrity platform for multidisciplinary scientific research.
By integrating molecular biology, forensic science, and psychiatry, we contribute to improved understanding, prevention, and intervention strategies for suicide and related mental health challenges.
The scope of our biobank spans multiple disciplines, enabling translational, forensic, and psychiatric research.
Molecular research for biomarker discovery and targeted therapies, advancing precision psychiatry and suicide prevention.
Facilitate genetic, epigenomic, forensic, toxicological, serological and multi-omics studies to uncover biomarkers, drug responses, and disease mechanisms.
Supporting suicide surveillance and cohort studies, helping connect biological and lifestyle factors with mental health outcomes and preventive policies.
