CBTEN- Challenging Perspective....
....with our motto ‘Educate, Research and Innovate’.

Science always provides a ‘perspective’ that is based on facts. Sometimes, these facts are elusive and not visible just like the ‘air’ that occupies half the glass space. This is precisely why scientists spend hundreds of hours constantly carrying out their research undeterred-to bring these elusive and unknown facts into the light. At CBTEN with our motto, ‘Educate, Research and Innovate’, we are trying to establish, the very platform, through which we can facilitate an opportunity to every student and researcher in Nepal, to study and challenge the ever dynamic realms of biomaterials and tissue engineering, which looks intangible and far-fetched owing to the lack of opportunities.

Personal note from the

President and Founder Director

Dr. Ranjana Rai

Welcome to the website of the ‘Center for Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering-Nepal’. The center was envisaged from a very personal experience; however, it is an experience that resonates with many that have made similar journeys to achieve higher education in their lives. I had the opportunity, to study and conduct research in the areas of biomaterials development, tissue engineering, drug delivery and medical device development with some of the well-established scientists in the UK and Europe. These opportunities for me were only possible because of the scholarships that I received to pursue my master’s and doctoral research in the UK.

Therefore, to provide similar opportunities to learn and explore these amazing fields to students and researchers in Nepal, CBTEN was established. Research in Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering has brought about a paradigm shift in the quest to provide sustainable therapeutics solutions to some of the most pressing and urgent medical demands like cardiac tissue engineering to treat diseased and damaged heart, nerve tissue engineering, development of innovative cancer treatments and new approaches for control drug delivery etc. All these advancements are having a direct effect on patient treatment, families, societies, government and the country as a whole. This impact is also important to understand, in the context of, the amount of money the government spends on healthcare and the overall cost of healthcare on the economy.

Therefore, in providing an opportunity to learn and conduct research in these areas, CBTEN also aims to create a home-grown workforce that is more astute in tailoring solutions suitable for both national and international significance. The creation of an educational and research platform like CBTEN is also important because advancements in education, science and technology have a direct correlation to the development and advancement of any society. In fact advancements in education, science and technology are critical stimulators for development; education empowers individuals, and scientific and technological revolutions underpin economic advances, improve infrastructures and healthcare. Thus, development and advancement in these areas can have a ripple effect on the society and the nation as a whole.

Vision and motto:

At the heart of CBTEN is its vision and motto of ‘Education, Research and Innovation’ which covers the three objectives and goals of the organization, as described below:

To open new frontiers that creates and develops new academic opportunities in Nepal.

To establish a platform for carrying out research in the fields of Biomaterials Development and Tissue Engineering.

To conduct cutting edge research that translates into novel medical solutions for improving patient health i.e. improving the health care sector.
