The centre promotes inter and multi- disciplinary approach for basic and need-based, applied research and efforts in bridging the gap between lab and society with respect to solid and liquid waste management. The current research at SCWRM involves novel technology and process development for solid waste and wastewater treatment, waste valorisation and resource recovery for circular economy and entrepreneurship development, microbiological and biotechnological investigations for development of value products/ formulations for industrial applications.

The centre has initiated several research projects on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), human pluripotent stem cells (hESCs), endometrial organoids, and bone and cartilage specific stem cells. SCSCR has state-of-art equipment to facilitate research of internationally accepted standards.

It's allied agenda of providing consultancy to organizations has also been kept in mind while marshaling the centre amongst industry and academia.

The center's focus areas include low-cost energy, affordable healthcare, and optical sensors. SCNN fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, partners with academia, industry, and government, and promotes awareness of nanotechnology's societal implications.

Furthermore, research and efforts in bridging the gap between lab and society with respect to solid and liquid waste management. The current research at SCWRM involves novel technology and process development for solid waste and wastewater treatment, waste valorisation and resource recovery for circular economy and entrepreneurship development, microbiological and biotechnological investigations for development of value products/ formulations for industrial applications. The centre is also involved in conducting workshops, training, and awareness programs to promote national agenda of ‘Swachh Bharat Mission', and work towards addressing key issues and challenges pertaining to waste management and sustainability.

Along with this SCAAI engages in interdisciplinary research to address pertinent issues that could involve a huge spectrum such as finance and banking to healthcare.

Collaborative online international learning, co-teaching and co-learning have been promoted due to online education. New concepts of international co-operation and intra- regional cooperation have emerged which enhance the internationalization of Higher Education. Knowledge diplomacy and how higher education can be a tool for development and soft power is also coming into discussion at the global level.

The center offers advanced degrees in life sciences, climate change studies, and sustainable development. A key focus of SCCCS' research is the often overlooked role of microbes in climate change mitigation and ecosystem services. The center is actively exploring ways to harness the potential of these microscopic organisms to combat climate change and promote sustainability.

The Centre focusses on activities related to Capacity Building and Research reorientation concentrating on the vectors of research such as Poverty, Employment and Informalization.

The Symbiosis Centre for Research in Vaccines and Biologicals (SCRVB) shall be monitored by Symbiosis Center for Research and Innovation (SCRI), like all other Research Centres of SIU.
