The Indo-French Node "Liver and Metabolic Disease Network" (InFLiMeN) represents a collaborative initiative between India and France, focusing on research and development in the field of liver and metabolic diseases. The joint research programme is being supported under the aegis of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, and the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, Government of France.
Promoting Indo-French Collaborative Research IFCPAR/CEFIPRA is a model for international collaborative research in advanced areas of science & technology. The primary objective is to enhance and strengthen bilateral scientific cooperation between India and France by providing research grants, organizing workshops, and facilitating networking opportunities for scientists from both countries.
This network aims to foster scientific exchanges and enhance joint research projects, leveraging the expertise of both countries to tackle critical health challenges associated with liver and metabolic disorders. By integrating multidisciplinary approaches and cutting-edge technologies, InFLiMeN is dedicated to advancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions. The ultimate goal of this joint Indo-French Node is to develop a fertile ecosystem in both nations, enabling collaborative efforts to address key issues in translational sciences. This collaborative Node aspires to serve like a virtual university & promote development of new products & technologies to benefit people suffering from liver and metabolic diseases.
