Kolkata, 9th January, 2025: JIS Institute of Advanced Studies and Research (JISIASR), Kolkata signed eight Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) with Central Council for Research in Homeopathy (CCRH), Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India for research, study and understanding the mechanisms, effectiveness, and applications of homeopathy in addressing a wide spectrum of diseases.
The MoU’s were signed in a formal ceremony in the presence of Padma Shri Professor Ajoy Kumar Ray, Director, JISIASR, and Dr. Subhash Kaushik, Director General, Central Council for Research in Homeopathy, Ministry of Ayush, Govt. of India.
The eight research initiatives cover diverse areas, ranging from fluorescence-based optical analysis of homeopathic medicines to exploring their therapeutic effects on diabetes. Among the notable projects are Dr. Barun Das’s investigation into the nanoparticle nature and bioactivity of homeopathic dilutions, Dr. Subhankar Singha’s analysis of the shelf-life of homeopathic tinctures, and Dr. Prosenjit Saha’s study on the physico-chemical properties and therapeutic implications of homeopathic medicines derived from natural resources.
Other critical studies include Dr. Pooja Ghosh’s in-vitro and in-vivo exploration of the efficacy of homeopathic drugs in diabetes treatment, Dr. Kamakshi Sureka and Dr. Sandip Paul’s investigation into bowel nosodes, and Dr. Saptarshi Das’s utilization of unsupervised learning to detect symptom patterns in common homeopathic remedies. Cutting-edge technology is also being employed in Dr. Chirantana Mallick’s AI-enabled predictive model for decision-making in homeopathic treatments, while Dr. Farhat Afrin’s research focuses on chromatin modifications induced by homeopathic medicines in type 2 diabetes patients.
The comprehensive approach of these studies aims to provide valuable scientific insights that could bridge the gap between traditional and modern medicine, enhancing the acceptance of homeopathy within the broader medical community.
Speaking on the occasion, Sardar Taranjit Singh, Managing Director, JIS Group, stated, “These research projects reflect the JIS Group’s commitment to advancing scientific understanding and contributing to meaningful healthcare solutions. By examining the efficacy of homeopathy across various dimensions, we aim to establish a robust framework for its integration into mainstream medical practice.”
