INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MORPHOLOGY
Introduction
The Indian Institute of Morphology is dedicated to advancing the understanding of form, structure, and organization across multiple scientific fields. Morphological study at the Institute spans mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine, establishing an integrative framework that links fundamental science with applied research and clinical practice. By exploring the universal principles of structure—from geometric and molecular arrangements to the organization of living systems—the Institute aims to foster innovation and discovery that improve human health and knowledge. With a strong focus on imaging technologies and interdisciplinary collaboration, the Institute prepares future scientists and clinicians to address complex challenges through a comprehensive morphological perspective. Its scope and future lie in bridging theory with practical applications, driving breakthroughs in diagnostics, therapeutics, education, and societal impact, ultimately positioning the Institute as a global leader in morphological sciences.
FORMATION AND A SHORT HISTORY OF THE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MORPHOLOGY TRUST (IIMT)
The INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MORPHOLOGY TRUST ( IIMT ) was formally registered with the Government of India on the 7th of May 2013.
- DR TAMOJIT GHOSH : Settlor of the Trust
- Mr INDRANIL DASGUPTA : Trustee
- Prof PRANTAR CHAKRABARTI : Trustee
On 1st September 2025, after 12 years of being Trustee, Mr Indranil Dasgupta tendered his resignation due to heavy working responsibilities in his professional corporate life. Prof Avijit Hazra ( Professor of Pharmacology and Dean of Student Affairs in the Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research – IPGMER ) accepted the vacant position and stepped into his place. Mr Dasgupta will be severely missed as he was a founder Trustee and an extremely erudite man. Prof Avijit Hazra was selected for his long and exemplary academic career and his remarkable administrative acumen. The IIMT has been blessed by Mr Indranil Dasgupta’s initial involvement and Prof Avijit Hazra acceptance of the position of Trustee. This allows the Trustee Board to move into better areas of governance, academic activities and prominence.
The Trust has a very dedicated and serious mission that you will find in the mission statement of the Indian Institute of Morphology

Imaging is basic to morphological assessment
Morphological study of size, shape and function is essential at microscopic level. This science in called Stereology and has developed into a major field of measurement at higher resolution microscopy. Essays and details on Stereology are written under the ESSAYS IN MORPHOLOGY menu on header.

SCOPE OF MORPHOLOGY STUDIES IN EVERYDAY LIFE
Morphological studies, which focus on the form, structure, and organization of living and non-living systems, have a wide scope in everyday life. In biology, understanding the morphology of plants and animals helps in identifying species, improving agriculture, and diagnosing diseases. For instance, leaf shape or seed structure guides food cultivation, while cellular morphology aids in medical imaging and pathology. In linguistics, morphology—the study of word formation—enhances communication, literacy, and language learning. In materials science, examining the morphology of crystals, polymers, or nanoparticles contributes to the development of stronger building materials, electronics, and medicines. Even in art and architecture, morphological principles guide design, balance, and aesthetics. From analyzing facial structures in forensic science to studying traffic patterns or cloud formations, morphology provides insights into patterns and functions. Thus, morphological studies bridge science, technology, culture, and daily experiences, making them deeply relevant to human life.
