CQuERE
Quantum computation/simulation of quantum many-body systems could enable us to reduce the complexity of time-consuming calculations, thereby promising applications in topics such as drug design. It could also enable us to explore possibilities of quantum engineering using photons, as well as tackle issues related to climate modelling.

CHINTA
Neurodegenerative and Neuropsychiatric diseases are global public health threats. Absence of interdisciplinary approach is one of the main reasons for failure to discover new medicines and therapies. The core research area of CHINTA focuses on this translational neuroscience from discovery to delivery.
