Dr. Tony D. S. Raj

Dean Head

At St. John’s Research Institute (SJRI), our vision is to advance knowledge that transforms lives through research grounded in scientific rigor, collaboration, and ethical excellence. Since its inception, the institute has sought to bridge discovery and impact—translating insights from basic, clinical, and public health research into meaningful health improvements for communities across India and beyond.

Our strength lies in the diversity of disciplines we bring together. From molecular biology and nutrition sciences to epidemiology, informatics, and implementation research, SJRI is home to teams that work across traditional boundaries to address pressing health challenges. The institute’s collaborative culture creates an environment where education, care, and discovery reinforce one another.

Equally important is our commitment to capacity building and mentorship. Through our training programs, workshops, and academic collaborations, we invest in nurturing the next generation of scientists and health professionals who carry forward the values of integrity, compassion, and social responsibility embedded in the St. John’s tradition.

As we look to the future, SJRI continues to strengthen its scientific programs, foster innovation, and deepen partnerships—both national and international—toward improving health equity. I invite you to explore our work and join us in our mission to advance research that matters.
