Ubio is one of the two start-ups set up at the Biotech Park to work on two prototype Classical Swine Flu detection systems developed by RGCB and scale them up for mass production.

Pillai said the product was the first of many that are expected to come out of the Biotech Park in the coming years.

So far, RGCB had focused on human diseases like cancer, TB, dengue and cholera.

A bio-innovation centre (BIC), a hub for development of cancer vaccines, immunotherapeutics, molecular diagnostics, biomarkers and nano drug delivery systems, is the RGCB's next stage of expansion.

On September 30, UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi will lay the foundation stone of BIC which is coming up on a 20-acre campus at Akkulam in the state capital.

Besides research and development activities, the centre will also offer world-class biotechnology education and training.
