Dear Colleagues,

During past few years, we have made significant and serious

efforts for expediting the development of new drug

formulations, radioprotectors, molecular imaging agents and

other products, processes, technologies for Radiation

Countermeasures as well as for Medical Imaging and

Neurocognition Research for Armed Forces.

This cannot be denied that INMAS has today emerged as a

premier institute of our country that is working in the areas of

biological radioprotection and management of CBRN

emergencies. Additionally, we have developed a multitude of low cost, efficacious biomedical products and drugs for

LIC, NBC and high altitude conditions. Our institute has also become a centre of excellence for training in CBRN

emergencies, as well as advanced training in non-invasive imaging. We presently have an enviable fleet of highly

sophisticated, state of the art facilities such as the 3T human MRI, 7T animal MRI, human and animal PET/CT and SPECT

systems, Central Animal Laboratory Facility, Blast wave simulation facility, Co-60 Gamma Irradiators, Non-contact

Laser MicroDissection Workstation to name a few. This excellent infrastructure, operated by highly trained

manpower has successfully fostered major contributions in research with several publications in high impact factor

journals to our credit. Our scientists have been invited to several high level seminars, conferences, committees and

forums at the national and international level.

We have made significant scientific contributions during the XI Plan. This fact was also dearly appreciated by the most

recent Executive Board members who have reviewed our overall performance in the XI-Plan. I have good reasons to

rejoice the quality and quantum of work that we have accomplished during the XI-Plan Programme of Institute.

Besides bringing some new drug formulations on the shelf for Emergency use, we could make major headway into

many of the R&D challenges that INMAS faces along with its global counterparts. It is also important to note that we

made excellent progress in establishing modern laboratory infrastructure and some major facilities despite some

genuine constraints. We should also not ignore the fact that INMAS has been able to generate some novel scientific

concepts and ideas at the global level, which have caught significant attention of scientific community abroad.

The successful culmination of XI Five Year Plan brings forth new avenues of frontier, cutting-edge research that must

see the light of day in the form of novel innovative products during the ensuing XII-Plan. While I take this opportunity

to congratulate you all on our scientific accomplishments, I wish to urge you to attain even greater heights by working

in a cohesive, committed and dedicated manner for the benefit of our esteemed Armed Forces and our country at

large. This will surely help us in overcoming our limitations and bringing far better achievements during the XII Plan.

NEW PRODUCTS/TECHNOLOGIES DEVELOPED

Susnan

Automated sensors based radiation detection and

decontamination mechanized system has been

developed at INMAS. It is used for decontamination of

the CBRN victims without human intervention. The

sensor fitted will automatically detect the radiation

hotspots, information is stored in PLC and used to

effectively decontaminate it accordingly.

Protective Clothing for Medical First

Responder

An advanced protective clothing to be used by Medical

First Responders has been developed. This is light

weight protective clothing impermeable from outside 2

with breathability of 2600 gm/m /day to make the

responders comfortable during long hours of the

operation at the same time providing protection

against cross contamination.

18 FET (fluroethyltyrosine)

Reflecting the increased amino acid transport capacity

of tumor cells, F-18 (F-18 FET) is actively taken up in

tumor cells via amino acid transport system L, but is

neither incorporated into proteins nor readily

degraded, resulting in high intracellular concentrations

of this imaging agent. O-(2-(18)F-fluoroethyl)-L-

tyrosine (FET) is a useful tracer in brain tumor imaging

based solely on amino acid transport that

differentiates local recurrent brain metastasis from

radiation necrosis. [18F]- FET-PET based diagnosis has

a relevant clinical impact for treatment planning and

response monitoring of radiation therapy in malignant

glioma. FET is fully characterized and validated in house

in >5 Patients with clinically significant results.

Human Patient Simulation System

Virtual Reality Environments for Cognitive Assessment

lVR Office-

lVR Mall-

lVR Search & Rescue Task-

High Fidelity Human Patient Simulation System facility installed for imparting specialized medical training skills to

responder for mitigating CBRN hazards. It can provide simulation based training which will largely serve to ensure the

safety & optimal care of the patients resulting in reduced loss of life and limb, as a result of CBRN disasters.

Various psychometric tests has been developed worldwide for the assessment of cognitive abilities such as memory

span, attention span, visuospatial abilities, executive functions, mathematical abilities. There is also a need to address

issue of appropriate assessment of defence personnel's cognition. They face real life threatening challenges; it could

be on high altitude, desert and semiarid area or border security. Soldiers need to be attentive for every situation. To

prepare soldier ready for this situation, they are required to be assessed under real type situations, which is of heavy

monetary and hard to create. Simulation of those environments is now appropriate solution to provide this type of

simulation.

INMAS have designed these environments for cognitive assessment of soldiers in simulating situations. These

environments in virtual reality computer simulation are inspired from classical psychometric tests, and composed of

these tests in virtual reality 4D. Three types of VR environments are designed within-house capabilities. These are as

follows :

It is a simulation of office environment to assess various cognitive assets required to execute in any

R&D lab. Visual and auditory memory along with executive functions such as planning can be assessed with

inbuilt tasks. Visual and auditory attention tasks are also incorporated so as these functions also required

during lab/office activities.

Shopping mall in virtual reality is designed with the need of management skills, whether related to

money management or time management. Both of the modules can be well assessed in VR mall environment.

The Search and Rescue Operation is a virtual environment designed for the training purpose of military soldiers. The Search and Rescue Operation is studying the behavior of the soldiers in the traumatic events such as bomb explosion, gun firing and civilian management during low intensity conflicts and is important to help them train for disastrous situations.

The motivation behind the usage of VR for cognitive purposes includes two things: first thing is the ease of using VR

Dr. Gurudutta Gangenahalli

Dr Gurudutta Gangenahalli, FRSC (London), joined INMAS in 1988 as Scientist B. He is presently Scientist F and founding Head of "Stem Cell & Gene Therapy" Group in INMAS. He obtained his M.Sc (Biochemistry), M.Phil (Life-Sciences) and Ph.D. (Biochemistry) from Karnataka University, University of Hyderabad and Delhi University respectively. He did his first Post-Doctoral research as FAPESP (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo) fellow in the Dept. of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1998-1999 with specialization in transfection of genes to validate the role of Polyoma virus-middle-T antigen and c-Myc gene that controls cell proliferation. Subsequently he did a second Post-Doctoral research as Fellow of NSBRI/NASA (USA) specializing in Stem Cell Research, studying the stem cell regeneration response potentials unaffected/protected from HZE space particles (Fe, Cu, etc.) with Henry Brook Distinguished Physician Professor. Dr. Alan Gewirtz, MDat University of Pennsylvania (UPEEN), Philadelphia, USA and in Brook Heaven National Laboratory, New York (USA) during 2003-2005. He was also awarded prestigious Visiting-Fellowship of the National Research Council (NRC, Canada) in 2000-2002. Before joining INMAS, he had a short stint with Padma-Bhushan Professor. Nuggehalli Raghvira Moudgal in the Dept. of Biochemistry, Indian Institute of Sciences, Bangalore.

He pioneered the molecular biology work in clinically relevant human stem-cell response research (hSC-RR) first time in India. His team work on the identification of hBCL-2 active-site structurally is well recognized. It has assisted in the generation of hBCL-2 molecule with increased shelf-life and cell survival, and design of anti-cancer molecules. The elucidation of negative-control of human Stem Cell Factor receptor (c-Kit/tyrosine-kinase) by SHP1 and signal cluster on its activation helped the development of a molecule inducing proliferation of hSCs. The mapping of hSC transcription-factor (hPU.1) binding to GATA-1 (Erythroid-factor) causing negative regulation, has led to the development of a molecule promoting hSC graft to myeloid-lineage. Similarly, his work has also contributed to elucidation of signaling domain in hCD34-antigen (a hSC marker) and in hCXCR4 that enhances stem-cell trans-endothelial migration. His efforts to decipher Osterix, APC, Lithium/Wnt mechanisms in osteogenesis have established the usefulness of Lithium in clinical osteogeneic therapy. The identification of hypoimmune response gene clusters in hMSCs has helped to manipulate their clinical potential in transplantation. The microencapsulation/Nanoparticle Technology for human stem cell encapsulation developed by him, by Liposomes, Poly-Electrolytes (PAH, PSS), Chitosan, Alginate, hound passively and actively target hSCs to BM in pre-clinical models that has a great potential in clinical application in transplantation. The in-vivo SC tracking by NMR (7-9Tesla) is another innovative development to his credit using iron nanoparticles. Apart from present R&D, he also has contributed during earlier days extensively in routine clinical diagnostic radio-pharmaceuticals services including human-Low Density Lipoprotein (hLDL)-receptor probe development having a clinical potential for inflammation and atherosclerotic lesion imaging. His work on establishing conditions for hMSCs cultivation in abundance is extensively cited. He aims to develop Stem Cell Therapy “to cure all disease processes” and “to restructure disaster injuries “through molecular reconstruction, and aims to clone regiment-specific soldiers to Indian Army in future (known as customized soldiers).

Dr Gurudutta is an active member of American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology(M-20204), American Society of Gene Therapy, American Society of Stem Cell Research and other professional academies (NASc, INA, INSC, IABSc, etc) and societies (Fellow of Indian chemical Society) in India and abroad. He is on the editorial board of Journal of Stem Cell Research, Transplantation, Annals of Neurology (India), Stem Cell and Development (USA) and a reviewer on Circulation (USA), Molecular Endocrinology (USA), Stem Cells (Translational Medicine) (USA) and Indian Journal of Medical Research, and many others. He has guided more than thirteen Ph.D. theses so far and several MSc/MTech degree projects/trainees and has about 70 publications to his credit.
