On behalf of the Manipal Institute of Regenerative Medicine (MIRM) formerly School for Regenerative Medicine, Bangalore (SORM-B), Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), I am pleased to present to you “MIRM 2012-2019”. This booklet encapsulates the research and teaching contributions made by MIRM in the highly specialized fields of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine.
MIRM was conceptualized in the year 2006 as a nascent research arm of the newly established stem cell company Stempeutics. It became an independent teaching cum research department of Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) under the name of Manipal Institute of Regenerative Medicine (MIRM) in 2008. It moved to its current campus in Yellahanka in 2012. The booklet describes the work done in MIRM/SORM these last seven years (April 2012 to March 2019).
