The Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF) of Cotton University, established in 2022, is equipped with advanced instruments that significantly enhance research capabilities in Science and Technology, particularly in Molecular Biology. Managed by a team of distinguished scientists with expertise in various characterization techniques, CIF provides extensive resources for postgraduate students, doctoral candidates, and faculty members. Beyond its primary focus, CIF is a catalyst for interdisciplinary research, fostering collaboration across diverse scientific fields. By integrating expertise from different disciplines, the facility enables groundbreaking discoveries that address complex challenges at the intersection of biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. This interdisciplinary approach not only elevates the quality of research but also broadens the scope of potential applications, making CIF a vital resource for innovation. As the facility continues to expand annually, it aims to become a central research hub in the Northeast region of the country, with expectations that it will soon attract researchers from institutions across India.
