MURTI Research Centres

GITAM has established the Multidisciplinary Unit of Research on Translational Initiatives (MURTI) research centres across all its campuses to foster a transformative research culture within the University. 

At GITAM, we believe that the future of innovation thrives at the intersection of disciplines. MURTI aims to enhance scientific inquiry, drive the development of pioneering ideas, and contribute to building a robust knowledge economy. By promoting multidisciplinary research, we empower our faculty and students to approach complex challenges from a comprehensive, integrated perspective.

Our commitment to dismantling disciplinary boundaries and encouraging cross-field collaboration is pivotal in driving groundbreaking discoveries that create a meaningful impact on society. MURTI centres focus on six key research areas: basic science, mobility technologies, materials and manufacturing, communication technologies, agricultural technologies, and sensor technologies. In alignment with the New Education Policy, we also encourage undergraduate students to actively engage in research activities.

State-of-the-art laboratories and resources have been established as part of this initiative, empowering faculty to conduct cutting-edge research. While these facilities primarily serve MURTI-affiliated members, they are available to any faculty member with a compelling scientific question, further encouraging an open and inclusive research environment.

MURTI's ultimate goal is to foster an intellectually stimulating ecosystem that brings together researchers, experts, and stakeholders from diverse fields, ensuring a holistic approach to research that addresses regional, national, and global challenges.
