The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) recently initiated its novel health camp, named “Phenome India.”

The camp was organized for the staff of the institute, and its main objective was to ensure “Swasthya Bharath. Viksit Bharath.”

The camp was held at its Delhi campus and a total of 98 individuals participated in the camp.

It was organized by the National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research, which is one of the laboratories under CSIR.

The camp aimed to understand the diverse population of India to provide insights and further advance precision medicine.

This camp was undertaken as part of a larger cohort study named, Phenome India- CSIR Health Cohort Knowledgebase (PI-CHeCK), which was designed to identify India-specific cardiovascular risk factors.
