In this regard, the main role of a Senior Program Leader - BioScience & Sustainable Technology is to serve as the principal technical and program management lead for strategic implementation of these projects. To achieve these goals in an innovative and cost-efficient manner, this position is needed to:
  1. Establish, maintain coordination and collaboration among RGCB’s R&D, business development group and other stakeholders.
  2. Provide focus and direction so that goals are met via innovative technologies/approaches rather than the more conventional end-of-pipe treatment approaches.
  3. Provide supervision of junior personnel and technologists.
  4. Develop, identify and transfer technologies and approaches from RGCB to stakeholders.
  5. Benchmark, collaborate, and engage entities outside of RGCB.
The Senior Program Leader (BioScience & Sustainable Technology) will have the following duties
  1. Identify and develop creative and innovative solutions to problems of a conceptual nature, through exploration and synthesis of ideas, concepts, and existing technology
  2. Responsible for Program or Project Management including establishing project/program objectives as well as program planning, reviews and execution phases

PROGRAM 1
The state of Kerala as well other locations in the country has a rich repository of medicinal, aromatic and other economically valuable plants due to the wide variation of temperature and altitudes. The overall mission of this program is to establish a detailed database of tribal and traditional medicine as well as medicinal plants, their active principles and medicinal activities. In addition the program seeks to establish a strong plant resource base with huge biodiversity cutting all strata in the plant kingdom. Such establishments will provide platforms for the use of high-end technology available with RGCB for discovery and development of unique phytochemicals with application in medicine, nutraceutical development, cosmetics, and biopesticides.
PROGRAM 2
RGCB has an outstanding track record in translation of its research capability & capacity for public health management. RGCB provides the entire state of Kerala and southern districts of Tamil Nadu, molecular diagnostic services for viral infections, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. In 2009 during the height of the pandemic H1N1 flu outbreak, RGCB provided the only authorized diagnostic service for the entire state of Kerala, bringing down the morbidity and mortality. Similarly in the 2010 and 2011 outbreaks of dengue and Chikungunya infections, it was RGCB molecular virologists that developed an in house innovative multiplex diagnostic kit, which allowed rapid identification of the viral fevers. Further expanding this service, RGCB subsequently established a dedicated diagnostic unit called Laboratory Medicine & Molecular Diagnostics (LMMD) providing exclusive services for public health. In 2010, recognizing the outstanding contribution of RGCB to public health management, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) gave a special grant of Rupees 5 crores to further upgrade the diagnostic services to that of a National Grade 1 laboratory capable of handling all types of viral infections.
