All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Kalyani, situated in Nadia district of West Bengal, was established as an autonomous Institute of National Importance under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.

In addition to clinical services, AIIMS Kalyani conducts cutting-edge medical research in collaboration with national funding agencies such as the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Department of Biotechnology (DBT), and Department of Science and Technology (DST). Extramural research projects focus on infectious diseases, molecular epidemiology, cancer biology, and public health surveillance.
Under the Department of Research and the Dean (Research) office, an extramural research study funded by ICMR requires specialized scientific personnel to conduct molecular diagnostic assays, laboratory sample processing, epidemiological field surveys, and statistical analysis. The project offers young researchers an exceptional environment to work with state-of-the-art laboratory instrumentation.
