About Biological Product Division

In 1936 with the reorganization of the Institute, it was renamed as Division of Biological Products. The divisional activities are organized under three sections viz. viral vaccines, bacterial vaccines and diagnostics. The divisional activities are directed towards large scale production of different immunobiologicals, organisation of training programmes for the state biological production units through national diploma and specialized short-term training courses, besides rendering advisory services. In addition, scientists are also engaged in conducting research towards the improvement of the existing immunobiologicals and addition of newer products.
