Center for Health and Disease Studies – Nepal – Dedicated to Biomedical Research in Nepal

What we do

Academic Programs

Internship and Thesis

We provide platform and guidance on internships and thesis projects for undergraduate and graduate students

Hands-on Training

We provide trainings on molecular laboratory techniques, bioinformatics and biostatistics for researchers and students.

Seminars and Webinars

We organise on-site seminars and online webinars for knowledge sharing.

About Us

Being biogeographically diverse, Nepal is a unique place with genomic and disease variability. However, it has very few biomedical research laboratories exploiting these resources. Therefore, with a major aim to establish and develop a biomedical research facility in Nepal, Center for Health and Disease Studies-Nepal (CHDS-Nepal) was established in 2015 by a group of Nepali researchers with a common interest in biomedical research.

Our Vision

Our vision is to promote biomedical research in Nepal by improving diagnosis, studying disease cause and dynamics and treatment efficacies so as to improve quality of human health.

Our Mission

Our mission is to explore potential areas of health and diseases that have higher risk to the community and pose constant challenges to the clinicians for diagnosis and treatment.

Research Programs

CHDS-Nepal Believes In Multidisciplinary Collaboration For Better Fostering Of Research Environment To Advance The Science.

Infectious Disease Research

Communicable disease is a major public health problem in developing countries. We focus on the identification and mechanism of disease source using conventional and molecular techniques.

Cancer Genetics and Genomics

Despite major breakthroughs in science, cancer control & prevention remain major challenge. We focus on understanding the genetic nature of cancer in Nepalese community using molecular & epidemiological tools.

Community Health Programs

Public awareness is the best strategy for control and prevention of the diseases. We work closely with the community for identification of the source and surveillance of the diseases.
