Shantha has targeted Infectious Diseases and Oncology as its primary areas of interest for conducting R&D activities.
Infectious Diseases:
• ID’s are the most common cause of mortality in children below 5 years of age
• Early vaccination can eradicate the outbreak of IDs.
• Shantha regards the research and development of safe and cost-effective vaccines that will prevent the outbreak of IDs as a social responsibility and a moral obligation.
Oncology
• An extensive amount of innovative research is conducted in this field, rendering it a fertile area for the development of novel therapies.
• Cancer being the fourth largest killer in the work, there are a large number of terminally ill patients who can be helped by new therapeutic proteins and monoclonals
