Department of Molecular Medicine & Biology at Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre

The Department of Molecular Medicine & Biology at Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre, Mumbai, aims at providing a broad menu of molecular diagnostic tests, which are most sensitive and specific for diagnosis and therapies of various disorders, including cancer, neurological disorders, genetic disorders and infectious diseases. The department also specialises in infectious virology and has a biosafety level 3 lab dedicated to virology. 

The Department of Molecular Medicine & Biology is dedicated to advancing the understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms of disease and developing new treatments that improve patient outcomes. The team of skilled physicians, researchers, and scientists work together to provide cutting-edge diagnostic and therapeutic services to patients. The technical team consists of leading specialists in biological sciences and molecular techniques. 

One of the key features of the department is state-of-the-art molecular techniques that are used to conduct specialised tests, which require in-house development and standardisation.

Apart from clinical and research services, the department is also committed to training the next generation of scientists and healthcare professionals and providing educational opportunities for medical students, residents, and fellows to learn about the latest advances in molecular medicine and biology
