Research at CMC Vellore
Research at CMC spans laboratory science, clinical trials, community cohorts and health policy, organised around priority areas and delivered through centres, units and core facilities.
CMC has contributed to generating and advancing knowledge to improve curative and preventive services since its founding by Dr Ida Sophia Scudder. Research here is grounded in the institution's clinical work and in the populations it serves.
The institution hosts centres recognised nationally for research excellence, including the Centre for Stem Cell Research, the Wellcome Trust Research Laboratory, the Infectious Diseases Training and Research Centre and the Clinical Epidemiology Unit, and was designated a Centre of Excellence for Translational Research by the Department of Biotechnology in 2014.
