Separate administrative arrangement in the form of Research and Education Services, has helped the institute to organise its research and educational activities and hence a definitive perspective and direction is being provided in this aspect also. The principal areas include the (I) Research Wing (Cancer Biology Department), (J) Educational Activities, (K) Library, and (L) Educational Graphics and Medical Photography.

The Cell Biology Division has fine set up for clinical chromosome research and diagnostic testing, mainly for diagnosis and prognosis of leukemia patients. In addition to Karyotyping and FISH (Fluorescence in situ hybridization) other c ytogenetic endpoints namely; chromosome aberrations, sister chromatid exchanges, centromeric band heterochromatin polymorphism are also employed. Following tests are carried out.

Clinical evaluation of thyroid function tests and tumor markers are being performed for diagnosis of patients with thyroid abnormalities and malignancies. Subsequent estimations of these hormones and tumor makers in serial follow-up samples are also performed in these patients.

This divison is actively involved in biochemical analysis of tumor markers with special reference to proteomic profiling of oral and breast cancer. Besides this they are also involved in glycomics, oxidative stress, inflammatory pathway and telomere dynamics in various malignancies.

The division works in coordination with pathology department. The division is well-equipped for Immunohistochemistry and Flowcytometry work. Immunohistochemistry and Flowcytometry have been carried out to aid histopathological and haematological diagnosis.

This division is actively involved in insilico and invitro analysis of various cancer drug targets using natural product scaffolds and their derivatives. Besides this they are focusing on pharmacogenomic aspect of cancer drug resistance.
