Basic Training Module: Foundational CBRN Awareness and Response (3-4 days)

Leave a Comment / Training Modules / Courses / CDPRR

This module will focus on natural, non-technological techniques for managing chemical, biological, and radiological (CBRN) incidents. The sessions aim to empower responders to utilize naturally available resources for neutralization and containment. Session 1: Introduction to CBRN Hazards Objective: Provide a fundamental understanding of CBRN agents and their effects. Technical Methods: Presentation on chemical (e.g., chlorine […]

DRDO’s Commonwealth shield

Leave a Comment / Articles/Blogs / CDPRR

The security measures in place during major events like the Commonwealth Games can be as frustrating for terrorists as a successful attack is for security forces. The absence of a terrorist strike during the Games can be seen as a testament to the effectiveness of the deterrence created by the security arrangements. However, the fact

Computational screening approaches for investigating potential activity of phytoligands against SARS-CoV-2

Leave a Comment / Publications/Research Papers / CDPRR

Coronaviruses (CoVs) are infectious agents from the family Coronaviridae, classified into four genera: alpha-CoV, beta-CoV, gamma-CoV, and delta-CoV. These viruses have a host-derived membrane envelope, a helical nucleocapsid, and positive-sense, single-stranded RNA that can initiate infection without the need for essential enzymes. Over the past two decades, CoVs have caused three major zoonotic outbreaks: Severe

Spatio‑temporal epidemiology and associated indicators of COVID‑19 (wave‑I and II) in India

Leave a Comment / Projects/Case Studies / CDPRR

The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in December 2019, has profoundly impacted millions of families in India, affecting their physical, mental, and economic well-being. The first wave peaked in September 2020, with a gradual decline until February 2021, largely due to a nationwide lockdown, resulting in relatively mild outcomes. However, the second wave, from February to

Science of the Total Environment: Development of magnetic nanoparticle assisted aptamer-quantum dot based biosensor for the detection of Escherichia coli in water samples

Leave a Comment / Publications/Research Papers / CDPRR

Microorganisms are widely present in soil, food, and water. Recently, bacterial and viral diseases linked to water contamination have emerged as a global health concern. Contaminated water serves as a source of disease transmission, and a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that 60% of the global burden of diarrheal
