Faculty

Centre for Bio Materials, Cellular and Molecular Theranostics (CBCMT) was established in the year 2013 under the able leadership of Prof. Geetha Manivasagam is an integral part of VIT.

Our Research Faculties

Advancing knowledge and innovation for a better world

CBCMT is a highly interdisciplinary research center. The primary research interests include drug delivery, in vitro 3D tissue models for drug screening applications, bone tissue engineering, cardiac patch applications, nanomaterials for theranostics, 3D bioprinting for developing organ mimics, cancer cell imaging, novel drug discovery, and its targeted delivery.

Faculty of Medical
Implantation

Focuses on developing and improving medical implants, including biocompatible materials, surface modifications, biomechanical, and clinical evaluations.

Faculty of Tissue
Engineering

Involves creating biological substitutes to restore or improve tissue function, including scaffold design, cell-scaffold interactions, biomaterials, and clinical applications.

Faculty of Cellular & Molecular Therapy

Uses cells and molecular mechanisms to treat diseases, including gene therapy, immunotherapy, stem cell therapies, and targeted drug delivery systems.

Nothing Beats Good Education For The Betterment Of A Student’s Future

With this addition, centre is better positioned to fabricate 3D organoids, tissue mimics, which will also be one of the key focus areas in coming years.The ongoing projects of the center are funded by both national and international funding agencies. The center also has a strong research collaboration with scientists from leading research laboratories across the globe.
