The Central Research Laboratory (CRL) was established in 2014 in Smt. Bangaramma Sajjan campus with financial support from BLDE (Deemed to be University). The primary purpose of the CRL is to support the research activities of the faculty, Ph.D. scholars, PG students, and UG students of the University by providing technical assistance and access to advanced and high-end scientific instruments. The secondary purpose of CRL is also to organize training programmes and workshops/seminars for staff and research scholars in the focused areas of research. The CRL with 1200 Sq. feet area provides sufficient space for multidisciplinary research. Teaching and Research go hand in hand and both are mutually reinforcing.

To nurture research and strengthen the research infrastructure of the university, we have upgraded the Central research Laboratory (CRL) and established a Centre for Advanced Medical Research (CAMR) in the year 2021. Imbibing research culture in every student and faculty has been the vision of BLDE Deemed to be University leadership. This centre will make significant contributions to the field of biomedical research, promote student and teacher research, produce high-quality researchers, and contribute knowledge to Basic and advanced medical research. Currently, the CAMR is supported by BLDE Deemed to be University. We have developed the world-class lab infrastructure with the help of a global leader in total laboratory solutions and designs i.e. Kewaunee International Group

Vision

To be a nationally and internationally recognized centre of excellence in advanced medical and translational research, fostering innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and impactful scientific contributions that benefit patient care and public health.

Mission

To facilitate cutting-edge biomedical research by providing state-of-the-art infrastructure, skilled expertise, and a multidisciplinary environment that promotes the generation of high-quality scientific knowledge, development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics, and training of the next generation of researchers.

Goals

  • To strengthen core research capabilities in molecular biology, cancer biology, proteomics, genomics, and translational medicine.
  • To promote collaborative research between clinical and basic science departments.
  • To support Ph.D. and postgraduate research projects through mentorship and technical resources.
  • To establish sustainable models for bio-banking, cancer cell line development, and consultancy services.
  • To contribute to national health priorities through targeted research in cancer, metabolic disorders, infectious diseases, and precision medicine.
