C-CAMP

C-CAMP (Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms) is a life-sciences research, innovation and entrepreneurship institution founded in 2009 and based in Bengaluru, India, where it is a member of the Bangalore Life Sciences Cluster. It is supported by India's Department of Biotechnology. Its work spans technology platforms, research and development, training and scientific services, with the stated aim of giving researchers access to tools and expertise without technology barriers.

Alongside its research infrastructure, C-CAMP operates an early-stage support function for life-sciences ventures. This comprises seed funding schemes for startups and research-led ventures, bio-incubation support, and mentorship and innovation programmes. The model is designed to connect academic research with industry and practical applications, and to support scientific tools and solutions aimed at socially relevant problems. Domain coverage includes biotechnology, healthcare, diagnostics, medical technology, agricultural biotechnology and environmental solutions.

C-CAMP's structure is platform-based and collaborative rather than a conventional fund: capital deployment is delivered through seed funding schemes alongside incubation and training, and no check size, portfolio count or team size has been disclosed. The institution describes its mission as translating bioscience innovations, with capacity building and training treated as complements to its research and service activity.
