Centre of Excellence
Center of Excellence in Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine ( CEMR ) is established by JSS University and supported in part by Vision Group on Science and Technology (VGST) and Department of Science and Technology - Fund for Improvement of Science and Technology Infrastructure (DST-FIST) program
Vision:
To have a cross-disciplinary, multipronged approach to diagnose and treat various diseases and bridge the distance between clinical and laboratory research using molecular biology and stem cells research
Mission:
The mission of the “Center of Excellence in Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine” (CEMR) is
- To help develop diagnostic techniques and novel therapies using molecular biology and stem cell technology
- To pursue understanding the mechanisms for various diseases and therapies through molecular biology
- To offer academic programs and training in the area of molecular biology and biomedical research to help develop skilled manpower
- To establish a human bio-repository for archiving clinically annotated specimens
Objectives:
- Develop biomarkers for early diagnosis and detection of various diseases
- Identify therapeutic and drug resistance markers in various communicable and non-communicable diseases
- To identify key factors regulating cellular transformation and differentiation in health and disease.
- To promote “stem cell based research” for developing diagnostic techniques and novel therapies for various otherwise difficult to treat diseases
- To assist drug discovery using molecular biology
- To conduct training and academic programs
