AMMA is the chancellor, founder and the guiding light for all activities of Amrita institutions. The thrust has been to make them into world class centres of learning and research, at the same time nurturing and encouraging the age old value systems in students and faculty.
Conduct top quality research by creating a foundation for innovative research and the translation of scientific discoveries into practical application leading to development of novel & affordable healthcare products by integrating engineering, clinical science, biotechnology & natural product based drug discovery.
Research and Development Projects
Explore the potential of developing biocompatible materials and devices (such as a cost-effective insulin pump) for medical applications in the treatment of diabetes and Insulin Resistance.
Target directed Lead identification through Natural Product screening. Focus on programs for new drug discovery from Natural Product screening in order to pursue a more systematic and mechanistic understanding of the efficacy of natural products in the treatment of diabetes and the phenomenon of Insulin Resistance.
Mechanism based approach to understand some of the crucial complications associated with Diabetes namely Impaired Wound Healing & Insulin resistance. These studies will involve the elucidation of the role of Nitric Oxide & Growth Factors as well as Transcripition Factors like Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) in the wound healing process . Studies delineating the molecular pathways involved in the trafficking of GLUT4 will enable a better understanding of the phenomenon of Insulin Resistance.
