The Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST)[2] is a premier scientific research organization in the north-east region of India, conceived and nurtured by the Assam Science Society in its initial years it was inaugurated by Nobel Laureate Dorothy C. Hodgkin on 3 November 1979. Subsequently, it was supported by the state govt. as its only autonomous R&D institute till March 2009. The institute was taken clique aqui over in March, 2009 by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India as one of its autonomous R&D institutes. The Institute is engaged in multi disciplinary research activities, both in fundamental and applied, across frontier areas of science and technology such as Plasma physics, Polymer Sciences,[3] Biochemistry, Drug design & development, Nano-science, Medicinal plants, Sericulture, biotechnology,[4] Microbial biotechnology, Environmental Sciences, Microbial Fuel Cell etc.[5]
