Institute Of Bio Medical Research

We provide state of art diagnosis to judge the condition of health, and identify the early transitions to disease for the development and use of new therapies as part of the new paradigm in translational molecular medicine. Research at Kanmani-IBMR mainly focuses on the human disease related problems to provides understanding of

• the properties of different primary cells and their niches
• how to control cells self-renewal and differentiation in vitro and in vivo
• how to translate this knowledge to develop new therapies

Every individual in our research team has committed for conducting translational research in fertility related area. Our ultimate goal is to generate disease free newborn in India by means of world class basic research and treatment.

Most all of this testing will revolve around thorough hormone tests. These hormone tests include the following:

• Luteinizing Hormone
• Follicle Stimulating Hormone
• Estradiol
• Progesterone
• Prolactin
• Free T3
• Total
  
• Free Testosterone
• DHEAS
• Androstenedione

The following tests are also commonly used in the first evaluated cycle:

• Cervical mucus tests 
• Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) 
• Hysteroscopy 
• Laparoscopy 
• Endometrial biopsy

• Zona Drilling Methods
• Blastocyst biopsy 
• Blastomere Biopsy Techniques 
• Polar body biopsy
• Trophectoderm Biopsy Techniques
• Preparation, spreading and fixation of blastomere and trophectoderm cells

• PCR principles and procedure 
• Application of PCR in IVF
• RNA/DNA isolation 
• RNA/DNA quantification
• PCR in diagnosis of diseases in early stage
• Other Molecular techniques relevant to the course

• General Introduction of the course
• Facility overview 
• Planning and designing of IVF lab
• Derivation and culturing of vector-free human iPS cells in defined conditions;
• Culturing hES and iPS cells in a feeder independent system;
• Freezing and thawing of hES and iPS cells cultured in a feeder independent system; and
• Generation of embryoid bodies from hES and iPS cells cultured in a feeder independent system.

• Setup and maintenance of ES/ iPS cultures
• Transfection procedure for mRNA-based reprogramming
• Hands-on introduction to flow cytometry
• ES/iPS cell characterization with different methods, including flow cytometry
• Magnetic separation of differentiated from undifferentiated ES/iPS cells
• Removal of feeder cells with magnetic separation
• Improved dissociation of murine embryoid bodies

Institute of Bio-Medical Research (IBMR) is the research arm of Kanmani Fertility Center, which has been established in the year 1996. A new research centre (R&D Unit) was added to our existing facility in the year 2010. The ultimate goal of Kanmani Fertility centre is to increasing pregnancy rates in infertile couples in India. The new annex IBMR focus is to provide premier research on early detection and preventing-hereditary diseases to pass over to new born.
We provide state of art diagnosis to judge the condition of health, and identify the early transitions to disease for the development and use of new therapies as part of the new paradigm in translational molecular medicine. Research at Kanmani-IBMR mainly focuses on the human disease related problems to provides understanding of

• how to translate this knowledge to develop new therapies

Our research team has a commitment for conducting translational research in fertility related area. To generate disease free newborn in India by means of world class basic research.
Also our leaders have developed networking to perform collaborative research around the globe to provide world class treatment. It is worth to mention some of our important procedures done at IBMR.
