There is a lack of trained scientists to fill the increasing number of jobs and funding opportunities in the Indian scientific research sector. This is a great opportunity for the international scientific community to help build and nurture a vibrant cell biology research community in India.
Here, we make a case for multivariate measurements in cell biology with minimal perturbation. We discuss how correlative data can identify cause-effect relationships in cellular pathways with potentially greater accuracy than conventional perturbation studies.
In the current climate of cuts to science and research funding, the commitment of researchers to influencing science policy has resurfaced as an essential issue.
