The PERFORM Research Centre at Loyola will focus on teaching and training in athletic therapy and cardiorespiratory physiology. It will second as a therapy centre for injured athletes and individuals suffering from specific health problems.
The Structural and Functional Genomics Centre will provide facilities for researching crop improvement and sustainable biotechnology. It will be housed in a new wing of the science complex already at Loyola.
