CIBIP Inter-Institutional Biomedical Innovation Programme

Ideate. Innovate. Iterate. Create

Welcome to CIBIP

About Us

India's effort to create an Atma Nirbhar Bharat derives its strength from a vibrant start up culture based on its intelligent, motivated workforce, backed by financial support from Government grants and Venture capital.

In the Health Sector, there are unrecognised challenges, such as lack of cross specialisation dialogue, which hampers efforts to form cohesive teams, and mature identification of problems and solutions to address that.

The ICMR DHR Policy document in February 2022 highlighted the need for concerted action in this field in India.

CCAMP Inter Institutional Biomedical Innovation Programme (CIBIP) seeks to set up a systematic method to address this in conjunction with Universities, Medical and Engineering Colleges in India.

Vision & Mission

To set up an inter-institutional, inter-speciality academic programme in the field of biomedical innovations & entrepreneurship.
To encourage inter-disciplinary dialogue between Medical, Dental, Engineering, Pharmacy, and Science students, and further other specialities such as the social sciences, humanities, art and design and management.
To promote seamless integration of the biomedical innovation process within the standard curriculum in Indian universities, encouraging cross-specialisation ideation.
To create a talent pool of trained manpower to ensure mature team members of all disciplines for bio innovation entrepreneurship in India.
