The University of Delhi Smart Protein Project

About

The University of Delhi Smart Protein Project is a student-led initiative focused on educating the university community about improving food sustainability through smart proteins. Our goal is to stimulate research and innovation on campus while working to build a community for students who are passionate about developing the smart protein education and research ecosystem.

Situated in India’s capital, the University of Delhi Smart Protein Project has access to key resources and talent required for the smart protein sector. Our community engages with institutes of prominence in and beyond Delhi, including the IIT Delhi, the National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management (NIFTEM), Ashoka University, IIT Madras, IIT Bombay, and ICT Mumbai. Our close proximity to institutes relevant to the space, such as the All India Institutes of Medical Sciences and National Law University is exactly why we believe Delhi is the next smart protein hub.

Consisting of 77 Colleges and 132,435 students, the University of Delhi (DU) is a hotspot of innovation and idea-sharing with a vibrant and driven student community. The university consists of 80+ departments ranging from the natural sciences and business to social sciences and law, making the university extremely interdisciplinary. Additionally, DU professors are also advisors to the government which paves the way for the implementation of research at a national level.
