Specialized Units
of Research Section
The Research Section at AIIMS, Delhi, is supported by four specialized units, each fostering significant advancements in medical science and technology. The Clinical Research Unit (CRU) centralizes resources & training to enhance clinical research practices. The Centre for Medical Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CMIE) drives innovations in emerging healthcare technologies, including precision medicine and AI-enabled devices. The Centralized Core Research Facility (CCRF) offers cutting-edge instrumentation for genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics, positioning AIIMS among the world’s leading research institutions. Additionally, the Intellectual Property Rights and Technology Transfer Division (IPR & TTD) manages intellectual property and facilitates technology transfer, ensuring academic freedom and equitable revenue sharing. These units collectively bolster AIIMS’s role as a leader in medical research and innovation.

The CRU routinely supports (but is not restricted to) the following types of studies: investigator-initiated clinical trials, cohort, case-control, cross-sectional studies as well as the studies evaluating diagnostic tests.
Centre for Medical Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CMIE)
The Centre for Medical Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CMIE) was set up under BioNEST program at AIIMS, New Delhi with an aim to create an ecosystem of Incubation of Medical Innovations for Entrepreneurship and Inclusive Development of Indian Health Care. CMIE encourages innovation for specific health care needs leading to a novel solution with greater commercial success. CMIE nurtures entrepreneurship for global recognition, strengthens indigenous capability and contributes to the “Make in India” program.
The Patent Cell of AIIMS was established in 2000 to address issues related to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Technology Transfer. The IPR and Technology Transfer Division is managed by the IPR Management Committee, chaired by the Dean (Research) as an ex-officio member.
The broad objective of the Patent Cell at AIIMS is to encourage innovation in Medical Sciences, Basic Sciences, and Medical Technology. The IPR unit aims to promote academic freedom, safeguard the intellectual property rights of inventors, and support a smooth mechanism for technology transfer. Additionally, it ensures a proportionate share of revenue among valid stakeholders.
