- Safety,
- Efficacy and
- Performance of the prototypes which is needed for regulatory approval according to National and International norms.
The laboratories at incubator, Core Central Research Facility CCRF , Sophisticated Analytical Instrumentation Facility (SAIF), the Centre of Excellences COEs , Automated Bio-Banking Facility, Experimental Animal Facility and other advanced laboratories in several departments will provide the accessibility to perform the necessary experiments.
For testing of diagnostic devices/kits the human samples can be used following the ethical clearance. Similarly preclinical studies can be done in animal models at the animal facility. AIIMS has a long experience of clinical trials which can help translation of the novel products developed in the incubator under the mentorship of concerned faculties. All activities will be carried out according to the existing guidelines and ethical committees at AIIMS.
The CMIE is being operated from 2 locations. The main centre of CMIE is located on the 4th and 5th floors of the Research Building of NCI at Jhajjar campus over an area of 13,000 sq Feet.
