Answer : 3. "Institute of Advanced Virology"
Explanation :

Scientists at the Institute of Advanced Virology, Thiruvananthapuram have developed non-infectious Nipah virus-like particles (VLPs). VLPs resemble viruses but lack genetic material, making them non-infectious. They effectively form vaccines for diseases like HPV, hepatitis B and malaria by triggering an immune response without causing symptoms.
