Taylor & Francis Group is pleased to announce a publishing partnership with the Biotech Research Society, India (BRSI).  

The aim is that BRSI members promote their biotechnology research to a wider audience by publishing via Taylor & Francis Group global publications. Under the terms of the partnership, the BRSI will recommend prospective authors from its membership to Taylor & Francis. 

Taylor & Francis is one of the leading research publishers in the world. The BSRI is a non-profit, scientific, professional society dedicated to promoting excellence and competence in the field of biotechnology. It promotes biotechnology research and development and encourages collaboration between academic institutes and biotechnology industries. It also shares knowledge through lectures, seminars, and symposia on scientific programs and societal missions. 

Prof Ashok Pandey, BRSI Distinguished Fellow and Distinguished Scientist at the Centre for Innovation and Translational Research, CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, said:  

“It’s great that the BSRI and Taylor & Francis Group have come together and signed an agreement on the publication of books together. This fulfills one of their major aims, i.e., dissemination of scientific and technological knowledge and developments for the benefits of the scientific community as well as others such as industries and policy makers through publications. I am confident that this will mutually help all the stakeholders, namely, the members of the BRSI, Taylor & Francis, and the readers.” 

Nitasha Devasar, Managing Director, Taylor & Francis India & South Asia; Vice President and Commercial Lead, India, South Asia & Africa, said:  

“Taylor & Francis is delighted to collaborate with the Biotech Research Society, India and add value for members. This partnership will aid impact and amplification of high-quality Indian research in the rapidly growing field of biotechnology.”
