The development of good research skill is strongly linked to the improvisations in the medical care. Hence it is imperative for undergraduate and post graduate medical students to practice research during their studies. Thus college has established various facilities and committees to encourage and facilitate research activities among the staff members and students.
Tagore Medical College and Hospital has established a well equipped central research facility to enable the faculty members and students to undergo various research projects. The central research laboratory was established during the year 2010. The main objectives of establishing a central research laboratory are:
The facility has been created in an area of 2250 sq.ft. with different specialties. Following are the important facilities that are made available:
1.Online Data mining
2.Molecular docking facility
3.Molecular modeling
4.Chemskech
5.Openbabel
6.DrugLiTo
7.Ligandscout
Apart from above facilities, the central research laboratory has statistical software to perform sample size estimation and descriptive and inferential statistics of the scientific data.
The laboratory has also facilities to perform anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities of herbal products.
The central research laboratory of Tagore Medical College is one among few medical colleges to establish bioinformatics facilities. Through the bioinformatics facility many research papers on molecular modeling and docking have been published.
The students are encouraged in research activities by the faculty members of all the departments. Every year many ICMR-STS projects are sanctioned to our college. Following are the list of ICMR-STS projects sanctioned:
