The '''CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology''' is a national-level research center located in [[Hyderabad, Telangana, India]] under the [[Council of Scientific and Industrial Research]] (CSIR). IICT conducts research in basic and applied chemistry, biochemistry, [[bioinformatics]], chemical engineering and provides science and technology inputs to the industrial and economic development of the country.<ref>[http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/todays-paper/tp-economy/iict-licenses-cancer-patents-to-us-co/article1742096.ece IICT licenses cancer patents to US co | Business Line]</ref> IICT has filed one of the maximum [[Council of Scientific and Industrial Research|CSIR]] patents.<ref>[http://www.rediff.com/money/1998/nov/09paten1.htm Rediff On The NeT Business News: Hyderabad's IICT ties up with Cytomed Inc for 3 US patents, more JVs planned]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.iict.res.in/%28S%28vmeeaw45tjsapb55rkteikf4%29%29/BiennialReports/2007-2009/02_R%26D%20Outputs%20Overview.pdf |title=01_Master_pages-a4 |access-date=22 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140602201707/https://www.iict.res.in/%28S%28vmeeaw45tjsapb55rkteikf4%29%29/BiennialReports/2007-2009/02_R%26D%20Outputs%20Overview.pdf |archive-date=2 June 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>https://www.iict.res.in/(S(vmeeaw45tjsapb55rkteikf4))/Staff/0915/PatentList.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref>

==Activities==

The [[research and development]] programmes of IICT relate to the development of technologies for [[pesticides]], [[drug]]s, organic intermediates, [[fine chemical]]s, [[catalyst]]s, [[polymer]]s, organic coatings, use of low-grade coals, and value-added products from vegetable oils. Process design and mechanical engineering design form an integral part of technology development and transfer. IICT is also actively engaged in basic research in organic synthesis and catalyses.<ref>[http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/iict-seeks-patent-for-anti-ulcer-molecule-106080501049_1.html IICT seeks patent for anti-ulcer molecule | Business Standard]</ref>

==Public health==

An example of the institute's work is development of technology for accurate identification, of principal [[mosquito]] vector in rural endemic areas for designing suitable control measures of vector-borne diseases like [[malaria]], [[filaria]], Japanese encephalitis, [[dengue]] fever, etc.<ref>[http://www.jagranjosh.com/current-affairs/iict-hyderabad-developed-software-tool-to-curb-dengue-and-malaria-1374843454-1 IICT Hyderabad developed Software tool to curb Dengue and Malaria]</ref>

In developing countries like [[India]], classification and identification of the mosquito species from rural endemic areas are of paramount importance. The [[World Health Organization]] monograph which describes the taxonomic data in the form of a pictorial key is generally difficult to understand by a non-taxonomist. Keeping this difficulty in view, a novel software has been developed which is user-friendly and menu-driven. The package can be successfully used in [[mosquito control]] programs in rural areas. Rapid identification and greater accuracy are the salient features of the technology.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.niperhyd.ac.in/PDF/Brochure-NIPER.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=1 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304030603/http://www.niperhyd.ac.in/PDF/Brochure-NIPER.pdf |archive-date=4 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>[http://iictenvis.nic.in/Database/More_About_Malaria_825.aspx CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad Envis Center, Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govt. of India]</ref>
