Aspirations

The ITRBM aspires (1) to set an example on how translational research in a medical center should be carried out, and (2) to strive to be a center of research excellence with international repute.

Philosophy

The governing philosophy of the ITRBM is that clinical and laboratory scientists must work together with an ultimate objective to tackle health-oriented problems.

Goals

Under our philosophy, two fundamental goals of the ITRBM are (1) to foster a congenial environment where MDs and PhDs can interact freely in terms of generating meaningful research problems and solutions without the worry of availability of facilities, know-how or clinical significance; (2) to groom the next generation of investigators who are well versed in translational research and (3) to put ITRBM on the map. It should be emphasized that our research focus is towards solving health issues rather than towards patent applications, technical transfers or marketable products.
