Integrated Collaborative research programs have been organized to promote the pooling of resource persons, facilities, and funding among selected national and international institutes, with the aim of solving problems of mutual interest and importance.

     The institute is linked to a number of major scientific and research institutions in the country, and will acts as a catalyst to facilitate and coordinate collaboration at both national and international levels.

     CRI has initiated 3 major research programs i.e. natural products for drug development, malaria, and cancer, to link and integrate research activities undertaken in the Institute’s laboratories in integrated programs designed to provide an effective approach to problem solving.
