About Us

About Us: Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CIR) is striding fast and steady “To become a world class Centre of higher learning in health science education, training, and research” as envisioned by Founder President Dr. D. Y. Patil, Padmashree Awardee. Today, CIR is one of the very few reputable destinations in the region that caters to and provides a learner centric ecosystem for all round development. CIR is well equipped with excellent minds and complimented with state of art infrastructure, knowledge resources and many more. Our unique positioning within the D. Y. Patil Education Society provides us with the advantage of seamless integration with our other sister organizations to readily conduct research and accelerate career growth. Keeping pace with our societal need and aspirations of the youth to familiarize with new frontiers. CIR offers M.Sc. programs in Medical Physics, Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, Medical Biotechnology, Physics and Ph.D. programs in specialized subjects. CIR looks forward to keep attracting young, dynamic and fresh minds to be part of our journey. We welcome you to explore our engagement with interdisciplinary research and innovations for furtherance of knowledge, technology, and community development. Vision: To become a world class dynamic Centre of education, research and training in the disciplines of Diagnostic Imaging, Radiation Oncology, Nuclear Medicine, Medical Biotechnology, Industrial biotechnology, Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, Nanobiotechnology, Cell Physiology, Enzymology, Research Methodology and Entrepreneurship to develop globally competitive professionals and socially responsible human resource.
