Vision & Mission
A Centenary Offering that carries forward the divine mission of Sri Sathya Sai Baba translating compassion into scientific action for the benefit of humanity.
Vision
To build a shared national resource that bridges clinical care and research guided by compassion, ethics, and scientific excellence.
Mission
Develop India's foundational infrastructure for precision medicine, integrating healthcare, education, and research into a unified continuum.
A Centenary Offering to the Nation
The Sri Sathya Sai Biobank & Research Hub (SSSBRH) is India’s first integrated precision medicine ecosystem uniting healthcare, education, and research through compassionate science and ethical innovation.
This initiative is not just a project; it is a Centenary Offering that carries forward the divine mission of Sri Sathya Sai Baba — a mission built on the twin principles of “Love All, Serve All” and “Service to Humanity is Service to God.”
It is a call to translate compassion into scientific action, where each sample, each dataset, and each insight becomes a step towards healing.
Technical Infrastructure
A future-proof design ensuring precision, reliability, and scalability through automated systems and sustainable operations.
Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) laboratory
The Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) laboratory investigates the fundamental principles of AMR acquisition and their dissemination among clinically relevant pathogenic bacteria. This knowledge is further utilized in the development of rapid, point of care diagnostic tools to support bed-side treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infections.
Trans-disciplinary approaches, representing an amalgamation of wet lab experiments, computational analyses and datascience are pioneered in this laboratory, to unravel the mechanisms involved in the emergence and spread of AMR. This approach is bolstered by the team members and collaborators of AMR laboratory, whose expertise ranges from managing a bio-repository of >10000 clinically isolated bacterial pathogens, to performing cutting-edge computational biology research, involving genomics and transcriptomics.
We will be using multi-tier storage and automation to safely store biospecimens and research data with high accuracy. Our sustainable power systems will ensure zero downtime so the biobank can run without interruption.
Automated Storage
Robotic automation for high-throughput operations, minimizing contamination.
Sustainable Power
2.1 MW solar plant ensuring eco-friendly and uninterrupted operations.
Digital Integration
LIMS integration for real-time monitoring, consent tracking, and audit readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Biobank?
A biobank is a repository of biological samples (such as blood, tissue, DNA) linked with clinical data. It serves as a critical resource for researchers to understand diseases better and develop personalized treatments.
How is my data protected?
We adhere to strict ethical guidelines including the DPDP Act 2023. All samples are de-identified (anonymized), ensuring your privacy is protected while allowing for valuable scientific research.
Who benefits from this research?
The primary beneficiaries are patients, specifically within the Indian population. Our research aims to develop treatments and diagnostics tailored to India’s unique genetic diversity, which is often underrepresented in global studies.
How can I contribute?
You can contribute by voluntarily donating samples at our partner hospitals. All donations are based on informed consent, and you can withdraw at any time.
