Indian Melioidosis Research Forum (IMRF) is an interactive web portal created and administered by a dedicated research team working in the field of melioidosis at the Department of Microbiology, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal University, Manipal, India. During the past few yearstwo decades, our research team under the leadership of Dr. Chiranjay Mukhopadhyay was instrumental in standardizing the microbiological laboratory procedures using serological, culture, and molecular techniques for the diagnosis of Melioidosis. There are more than 500 researchers, microbiologists, public health professionals, clinicians are associated with the forum who are interested in working with melioidosis.
Cross-cutting research in the field of Emerging and Tropical diseases to guide public health policy.
Investigating host-pathogen interactions, integrated multiomics, novel diagnostic tools, design of vaccines, prognostics and therapeutics for emerging tropical diseases, especially on melioidosis, with a focus on translating research findings into actionable public health strategies.
Acting as a center of reference in the country for selected emerging and tropical diseases.
Producing a comprehensive body of peer-reviewed publications that disseminate cutting-edge research findings, informing the global scientific community and contributing valuable insights.
