AIM & MISSION
THE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MORPHOLOGY IS A CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF FORM, STRUCTURE, AND ORGANIZATION IN LIVING AND NON-LIVING SYSTEMS. IT INTEGRATES TRADITIONAL MORPHOLOGICAL RESEARCH WITH CUTTING-EDGE IMAGING AND COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS TO ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE IN BIOLOGY, MEDICINE, AND MATERIAL SCIENCE. WE EXPECT TO TEACH MEDICAL STUDENTS IN THE FUTURE WITH TIE UPS WITH MAJOR INDIAN MEDICAL SCHOOLS
THIS PART OF THE WEBSITE IS DEVOTED TO INFORMATION /NEWS OF THE IIMT’s ACTIVITIES IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS :
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES
- Appointment of new leadership (trustees, deans, department heads) to guide expansion and reinforce credibility.
- Strategic changes in governance structure or collaborations.
RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS
- Publication of new research e.g. microscopy techniques (scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, confocal microscopy, etc.), perhaps new findings in developmental morphology, cellular morphogenesis, or morphological changes in disease.
- Grants awarded for morphology-related projects, possibly integrating imaging, AI/computation, or molecular biology.
- Advances in imaging technology acquisition (new microscopes, imaging centers, data analysis tools).
TEACHING OF MEDICAL STUDENTS :
- Through an integrated curriculum combines basic sciences, clinical exposure, and ethics to ensure holistic learning. These curricula are based on existing courses of Medical Schools nationally and internationally.
- Lectures, problem-based learning, simulations, and bedside teaching help students connect theory with practice.
- Continuous evaluation through practical exams, case presentations, and research projects measures both knowledge and competence.
COLLABORATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS
- Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with universities, research institutes, hospitals, or industry for joint research or sharing of imaging facilities and expertise.
- Cross-disciplinary projects, for example combining morphology with computational modelling, bioinformatics, or material sciences.
OUTREACH, CONFERENCES, AND WORKSHOPS
- Organizing or hosting workshops/CME (continuing medical education) focused on morphological techniques and their clinical relevance.
- Conferences on morphology, developmental biology, or related fields.
- Student training programs, microscopy workshops, seminars.
SOCIAL IMPACT AND APPLICATIONS
- Applying morphological research in diagnostics (pathology, histology), agriculture (plant or seed morphology), ecology (morphological variation among species), biomaterials, etc.
- Engagements with medical professionals or public health authorities, for morphological diagnostics / imaging in disease detection or management.
