Research

The ongoing research programmes at the CCMB are in three major categories - high quality basic research in the frontier areas of modern biology, research relevant to societal needs, and application-oriented research towards commercialisation. These include the areas of biomedicine & diagnostics, evolution & development, gene regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, host-parasite interactions, membrane biology, protein structure, bio informatics, functional genomics, theoretical biology, etc.

In recognition for its contribution to modern biology, CCMB has been chosen as a Centre of Excellence by UNESCO Global Network for Molecular and Cell Biology MCBN and has been designated as a South Centre for Excellence for Research and Training by the Third World Academy of Sciences TWAS, Italy. Many prestigious international and national awards have come to CCMB including the CSIR Technology Award (four times) and FICCI Award for outstanding achievements in Science & Technology.
CCMB is accredited by Jawaharlal Nehru University to offer Doctor of Philosophy programme and post doctoral research.
Technological Achievements
Annexe I - LaCONES
CCMB is involved in the dissemination of modern biological information through popularisation of science, science education in schools, and has been a meeting point for art and science. The Laboratory for conservation of endangered species is an annexe with the aim to conserve the Indian wildlife by using modern biological techniques and assisted reproductive technologies.
Annexe II - Clinical Research Laboratory and Innovation Complex
CCMB has started clinical research and Regenerative medicine services at its clinical research facility in collaboration with physicians from Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences to conduct bone marrow transplantation. A new 37 acre Innovation complex is going to be set up as an extension to CRF, which aims to conduct translational research for stem cell therapy and Agri biotech.
