Welcome to Orgamed Lab

The Orgamed Lab at the Department of Medical Sciences & Technology at IIT Madras is committed to developing advanced stem-cell-derived Organoid models to revolutionize pre-clinical research. Our mission is to reduce animal testing, enhance drug development, and create precise human disease models. Equipped with high-throughput facilities, we aim to expedite drug discovery and develop effective treatments, representing the future of pre-clinical innovation.

Research Projects

Electron Microscope Image of E.Coli Bacteria

Scanning Electron Microscopy image of disease-causing E. coli bacteria (pink) adhering to the surface of a human colonic organoid known as “mini-gut,” grown in a culture dish in the laboratory.

Differentiated Colonoid

3D-reconstruction of the surface of a differentiated colonoid stained for MUC2, ZO-1 and DAPI

Colonoid with Enteroaggregative E. Coli

The image displays colonoid infected with Enteroaggregative E. coli. The bacteria are shown in green, intestinal enterocyte nuclei in blue, actin filaments in white and mucus in red.
