The new frontier of IISc is clinical research, particularly fostering interdisciplinary research to address healthcare needs. With this goal in mind, IISc is going to establish 832-bed not-for-profit hospital, named the Bagchi-Parthasarathy Hospital, in the Bengaluru campus.
IISc Medical School with its Bagchi-Parthasarathy Hospital would enable strong interdisciplinary research with emphasis on translation to create innovative healthcare solutions for future. This could include new classes of antibiotics against bacterial and viral diseases,implantable electrode arrays for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzeimer’s,nanorobots for targeted drug delivery to treat cancer,AI-enabled genomics for diagnosis of rare genetic disorders and treatment regimens for such disorders,implantable artificial pancreas for treating diabetes, treatment for inflammatory diseases and integrative medicine for holistic well being- all discovered, invented and nurtured in India for local and global benefit.
Bagchi-Parthasarathy Hospital will catalyze a transformation in the country by blending science, engineering and medicine to bring quality and affordable healthcare to all. IISc will become the leader of clinical research and training that can be emulated across the country. It will also seek to set the tone for sustainable healthcare goals and policies for the entire nation.
