Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine was established as a research and production center, known as the Drug Research Laboratory of J&K State in 1941. It was eventually taken over by the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) of the Government of India (December 1957) as Regional Research Laboratory, Jammu.[1]
In order to develop technologies, medicines, and other high-value items for the domestic and foreign markets, IIIM's mission is to discover new drugs and therapeutic agents from natural products, including those with microbial and plant origins.
