At CBCMT, research is at the heart
of everything we do!
CBCMT is equipped with high-end instruments to carry out experiments ranging from materials synthesis, material processing, characterizations as well as advanced tissue culture facilities. The recent addition to this center, HOME (Human Organ Manufacturing and Engineering) Lab is an advanced 3D bioprinting facility equipped with two high-end Cellink BioX bioprinter, few basic bioprinters, and a high-end Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy Facility.
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 within India as well as across the globe.

Research Experts
CBCMT is a highly interdisciplinary research center. The primary research interests for the faculties at CBCMT are at the interface of biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering.
Home Lab
VIT in collaboration with Shenzhen University, China has established another state of the art facility under the acronym ‘HOME’ (Human Organ Manufacturing and Engineering) laboratory.
Research Areas
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.
- Medical Implants
Faculty in this area focus on the development and improvement of medical implants, such as orthopedic implants, cardiovascular devices, and dental implants. Research includes the design of biocompatible materials, surface modifications to enhance integration with the body, biomechanical studies to understand implant performance, and clinical evaluation of implant effectiveness and safety.
- Tissue Engineering
Faculty specializing in tissue engineering work on creating biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function. This involves designing scaffolds that support tissue growth, studying cell-scaffold interactions, investigating biomaterials for tissue regeneration, and developing strategies for clinical applications such as organ regeneration and repair.
- Cellular and Molecular Therapy
Researchers in cellular and molecular therapy focus on using cells and molecular mechanisms to treat diseases. This includes gene therapy for genetic disorders, immunotherapy for cancer, stem cell therapies for regenerative medicine, and targeted drug delivery systems using nanoparticles. Studies in this area aim to understand disease processes at the cellular and molecular levels and develop therapies that specifically target these processes.
