The academic interest and research outcome of our medical pioneers reflected in the novel and innovative treatment modalities and patient management practised in our institutions. Some of the faculty even received external funding to support their research interest. A research centre as such to coordinate the activities started functioning only from August 2010. Dr. D M Vasudevan, the well known medical researcher and recipient of Dr. B C Roy Award took over as the Director of the centre in April 2014, and JCMR became the official research wing of Jubilee Trust.

JCMR aims to bridge the gap between medical research and clinical practice, making the process less tedious and hazzle free. Today, the clinical issues are addressed at genetic, molecular and biochemical levels to effect speedy diagnosis and treatment. The last decade witnessed the dynamic growth of this centre with improved research output in medical field. The centre has even reported a novel gene mutation in 2019 that affects sexual development in humans.
