Ex Vice Chancellor's Message
" The University's rare feat comes as a recognition of its commitment to establish a state-of-the-art instrumentation facility i.e. 'Centralized Interdisciplinary Science Instrumentation Centre' (CISIC) for advanced research in the only Trans-Himalayan Institute of Higher Learning and Research in Ladakh Region.
Sophisticated instruments including Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Physisorption Analyzer, Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Multichannel Electrochemical Workstation, Genome Sequencing etc have been installed in this high-altitude region of the world for the first time at an altitude of 11562 ft. It is with great pride and enthusiasm, I believe that our newly established sophisticated lab, a hub of innovation and collaboration is set to drive cutting-edge research and discovery in Ladakh. Our state-of-the-art facility is a testament to our commitment to academic excellence in science and technology providing students and faculty with cutting-edge tools to explore, innovate and succeed. With the latest technology and a team of dedicated experts, we are poised to make significant contributions to our field.
This lab is not just a space for experiments, it is a place where ideas come to life, where curiosity is nurtured, and where the scientific leaders will be shaped. As the Vice chancellor of newly established university, I am thrilled to be part of this journey and to work alongside a brilliant team of faculty members. Together, we will push the boundaries of knowledge, fostering a culture of research, innovation, collaboration, preparing the next generation of leaders and change-makers.
I encourage everyone to take full advantage of the resources and opportunities that this lab offers. With our instrumentation facility, we aim to address global challenges, advance knowledge, and promote sustainable development, aligning with our university's mission and values. I would like to extend my gratitude to faculty and technical staff for tireless efforts in establishing and maintaining the state-of-the-art instrumentation facility. My sincere thanks to DST for PURSE grant and UT administration for financial support for the establishment of state-of-the-art facility at University of Ladakh. "

Coordinator's Message
" Centralized Interdisciplinary Science Instrumentation Centre (CISIC) in University of Ladakh was started in the year of 2024. Such sophisticated facility has been established for the first time in the only Trans-Himalayan Institute of Higher Learning and Research in Ladakh Region.
The CISIC has a wide range of major high-end sophisticated instruments used for various types of studies for research and experimentation, creating a vibrant inter disciplinary atmosphere among its students and scientists, which are operated and maintained by dedicated faculty and technical staff. Our facilities will help the research community to conduct inclusive competitive research in cutting-edge areas of basic and applied sciences.
Moreover, the facilities are envisioned to nourish collaborative research between University of Ladakh and other research institutes, academics and industrial organizations. This instrument facility offers a comprehensive range of high-end instruments which provides analytical capabilities to internal users as well as external users from various academics, research institutes and industries. The objective of the CISIC is to facilitate scientists, researchers working in various educational institutes/universities, research institutions and industry to carry out measurements on high-end instruments which may not be available in their institutions. We are thrilled to let our Instrumentation Facility to be used by other researchers, students, national labs/universities and industry as per specific rules. Explore new heights with our instrumentation facility, situated at high altitude for unparalleled research opportunities. As the coordinator of this facility, I am delighted to invite researchers to visit state-of-the-art instrumentations facility.
Our mission is to provide cutting-edge technology and support to researchers, students, and industry partners, enabling them to achieve their scientific goals and initiative the boundaries of knowledge. Thank you for your interest in University of Ladakh and looking forward to innovative research endeavors. "
