Himalayan School of Biosciences Establishes Protocol for Culturing Medicinal Fungus Cordyceps militaris

Himalayan School of Biosciences Establishes Protocol for Culturing Medicinal Fungus Cordyceps militaris

The Himalayan School of Biosciences at Swami Rama Himalayan University, Jollygrant, Dehradun, has achieved a milestone in the field of medicinal mushroom research. The institution has successfully established a protocol for culturing Cordyceps militaris, a valuable medicinal fungus renowned for its numerous health benefits, including anti-aging and anti-tumor properties. This achievement is a testament to the school’s commitment to advancing bioscience research and education. The protocol emerged after four rounds of intensive trials.

Cordyceps militaris (A species among 750 species of Keeda jadi identified in the world), a species
f fungus within the family Cordycipitaceae, is known for its bioactive compounds such as cordycepin and adenosine, which exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immunomodulatory properties. The research team at the Himalayan School of Biosciences, led by Dr. Vikash Singh Jadon, Dr. Geeta Bhandari, Dr. Nupur Joshi, Dr. Archna Dhasmana, and Prof. Sanjay Gupta, has developed a robust and reproducible protocol for the in vitro culture of this fungus. This protocol ensures consistent and high-quality fungal growth, making it scalable for larger research projects and potential commercial ventures.

The successful culturing of Cordyceps militaris opens up new possibilities for studying its pharmacological properties and developing new therapeutic agents for various biomedical applications, including cancer and neurocognitive disorders. The team's ongoing pre-clinical trials focus on the active components of Cordyceps militaris, with trials being conducted on cell cultures and animals. This novel research highlights the potential for industrial-level replication, which could significantly benefit humanity in treating cancer and neural conditions.

Cordyceps militaris is one of approximately 750 identified species of Cordyceps, found primarily in South Asia, Europe, and North America. The species' unique medicinal properties have made it a focal point for bioscientific research globally. The establishment of an effective culturing protocol by the Himalayan School of Biosciences positions the institution as a leader in medicinal mycology and underscores SRHU's commitment to innovation and new ideas.

In addition to Cordyceps militaris, the research team at the Himalayan School of Biosciences is exploring other medicinal mushrooms, including Morchella (true morels) and Lion’s Mane. These mushrooms are known for their potential therapeutic benefits, and the team aims to uncover their bioactive compounds and medicinal properties.

With state-of-the-art facilities and 12 high-tech labs, the Himalayan School of Biosciences continues to lead in scientific discovery and innovation. This recent achievement marks a significant advancement in their research capabilities and reinforces their role as a premier institution in the field of biosciences.

The establishment of a protocol for culturing Cordyceps militaris by the Himalayan School of Biosciences is a major milestone in medicinal mushroom research. This success story reflects the institution's dedication to advancing scientific knowledge and its potential to contribute significantly to global health through innovative research.

Guest Lecture on ‘Ecology of the River Bhagirathi-Ganga and Phyto-remedial measures to clean it’ at HSBS 27 May 2024

Guest Lecture on ‘Ecology of the River Bhagirathi-Ganga and Phyto-remedial measures to clean it’ at HSBS 27 May 2024

Himalayan School of Biosciences, Swami Rama Himalayan University, Dehradun, organized a guest lecture on “Ecology of the River Bhagirathi-Ganga and Phyto-remedial measures to clean it” on 27th May, 2024. The lecture was delivered by eminent speaker Prof. B.D. Joshi (Retd.) UGC BSR Fellow, Professor Emeritus, Gurukula Kangri University, Haridwar.

Dr. Joshi talked about the current scenario of Ganga River and impact of anthropogenic activities on the health of the water body. He highlighted many issues pertaining the pollution status of the river Ganga and its changing ecological pattern for the last 50 years. The study was scientifically validated by his research where his team was actively involved in various national projects related to study on Cleaning of Ganga River under the ages of National Mission for Cleaning Ganga Phase I & II supported by Govt of India, New Delhi. He shared his vast knowledge on ecological conservation of river Ganga by scientific research intervention. He further emphasize the various indigenous species of plants which earlier grown on the banks of Ganges and its river bed were capable enough to clean up and rejuvenate the river water. The gradual indiscriminate exploitation of the natural resources for the developmental studies were responsible for waning out the native biodiversity of river resulting in the severe deterioration of the river ecology. The best solution as suggested by is Phytoremediation strategy for resorting ecological health status of River Ganges. In the end, the Speaker wished all the students for their bright future and encouraged them to share knowledge with society.

Prof. Sanjay Gupta (Principal, HSBS) accompanied by Dr. Vivek Kumar, and Dr. Vishal Rajput felicitated the speaker. The event was attended by all the faculty members and students of HSBS.
