Facility

National Immunogenicity and Biologics Evaluation Center, was established in the year 2019, jointly by Interactive Research School for Health Affairs IRSHA , Bharati Vidyapeeth University, Pune and the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India under BIRAC-National Biopharma Mission. ​

NIBEC facility has BSL-2 and BSL-3 laboratories supported by other laboratories dedicated for sample management, serology, immunology and molecular assays, data center with restricted access.

The purpose of BSL- 2 & BSL-3 laboratories is to mitigate the risk of exposure of infectious agents handled in these laboratories to laboratory personnel, environment and community
