Despite all the recent achievements, there are still important challenges that require basic research work.
Initially, multinational companies hired Syngene for basic research, working on a single piece of a complex puzzle.
Dr. Eugene Braunwald, an international leader in cardiology at Harvard, likened Dr. Sonnenblick's basic research work to "what a brilliant mathematician or theoretical physicist does that ultimately allows you to go into space".

Most of our basic research work focuses on the visual pathway because of its accessibility for manipulation in the intact animal.
As a basic research work, the present study illustrates well the potential of the symplectic-mathematical theory as well as the inter-belt model and is valuable for the further research in computational nanomechanics.
"While courts are comfortable with narrow patents, there is widespread interest among research universities in ensuring that our broader, more basic research work is likewise protected by the nation's patent laws," Thomas H. Jackson, the university's president, said in a statement.
