Main Objective

The main broad and overall objective of the centre is to sustain and develop a national research data-base on cancer, diabetes, CVD and stroke through recent advances in electronic information technology with a national collaborative network, so as to undertake aetiological, epidemiological, clinical and control research in these areas.

Specific Function Statement

  1. The centre will closely work with the Ministry of Health, Government of India and other Central/State Government or other agencies to provide or plan to provide baseline information and technically help in designing, monitoring and evaluating control programmes and activities.

  3. Studies in aetiology will receive special focus through disease specific registers like lymphoma-leukaemia registry, childhood cancer registry and bone tumour registry etc. incorporating recent classifications based on immuno-phenotyping etc. so as to enable conduct of multi-centric epidemiological studies.
  4. Conduct studies in populations with exceptional or changing incidence rates or unusual environmental exposures.
  5. The centre will plan, innovate and integrate recent advances in communications and electronic information technology to develop the emerging field of health/disease informatics and develop software modules for data capture, checking and analysis.
  6. The centre will have active interaction on scientific topics and where feasible collaborative projects with related ICMR permanent centres/institutes like Specific Function Statement Medical Research Centre, Dibrugarh, Institute of Pathology, New Delhi, Institute of Cytology and Preventive Oncology, Noida, National Institute of Epidemiology, Chennai etc. In the same way it will also interact with local institutions in Bangalore like the Indian Institute of Science, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, etc.
  7. The centre will create a Directory of on-going research in India on cancer, diabetes, CVD and stroke.
