Koita Centre for Digital Health at Ashoka

Koita Centre for Digital Health at Ashoka (KCDH-A) is an interdisciplinary Centre, offering robust academic and research programmes aimed at advancing and developing a fresh perspective on Digital Health. It will focus on the convergence of healthcare, genomics, information technology, and artificial intelligence revolutions. KCDH-A aspires to nurture a new generation of Digital Health thinkers, innovators, and implementers through a balanced emphasis on education and research.

The Centre will offer strong academic programmes in digital health & informatics, drive research in next-generation digital health tools & solutions and create strong executive education in digital health.

KCDH-A is a joint centre of the Trivedi School of Biosciences and the Department of Computer Science at Ashoka University, established with support from Koita Foundation, a philanthropic organisation with a mission to accelerate Digital Health adoption in India.

Centre for Health Analytics Research and Trends (CHART)

The Centre for Health Analytics Research and Trends (CHART) is focused on the establishment of a strong repository of evidence- based research on a range of issues impacting population health. The multi- disciplinary team of researchers brings expertise in designing and conduct of rigorous epidemiological research studies across India . The team comprises public health experts , epidemiologists, biostatisticians , social scientists, environmental epidemiologists and exposure science experts , geospatial analysts , health economists , health system specialists , nutrition and laboratory science experts.

Datla Human Immunome Lab

Trivedi School of Bioscience, in Ashoka University, hosts the Datla Human Immunome Lab (DatlaHILab), a thematic research centre dedicated to research in human immunology, made possible by generous support from Dr. Vijay Kumar Datla Foundation, India.

The DatlaHILab is projected to address critical health challenges in South Asia and contribute to global scientific discourse with respect to both communicable and noncommunicable diseases. We envision this Lab not only as a centre for knowledge generation but as a catalyst for meaningful change in global health, through the lens of personalized medicine, public health intervention, and immunological innovation. By leveraging India’s distinct demographic and environmental factors, we aim to deepen our understanding of immune responses and their impact on human diseases such as infectious diseases, cancer, metabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases and aging. Another major focus of the DatlaHILab is projected to be on prospective cohort development for studies related to human immunology as well as for exploration of the human immune system within the ‘One Health’ framework.

Precision Biology Centre (PBC)

Precision Biology is the foundation of precision medicine. PBC brings together strengths across multiple departments to create novel assays and analytical methods to advance fundamental biology and translational discovery.

Centre for Glycans and Metabolic Programming (CGMP)

While proteins are widely seen as the main effectors for living systems, the role of small metabolites, peptides, lipids, and complex sugars has been mostly overlooked. CGMP aims to collaboratively build capacity in the area of cellular metabolism studies, metabolomics, lipidomics, and glycomics for applications in immunity, infections, and cancer
