Manipal Institute of Regenerative Medicine (MIRM) was set up in August 2007 to encourage the research in stem cell science. It provides a base where it brings together into a group of outstanding scientists and brilliant infrastructure to create an exceptional research environment. The aim of MIRM is to become a leading centre in the world for basic stem cell biology and work for critical advances in the field through a programme of ground breaking innovation.

This initiative of Manipal University is to facilitate the cutting edge research technology in Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering into delivering it in a clinical setting, a strategy commonly referred to as a bench to bedside approach. MIRM is a branch campus of Manipal University located at Bangalore.
