IRCBM was established to make high quality, low cost biomedical materials to be used in orthopaedic, dental, cardivascular and opthalmic surgeries. In addition to this IRCBM is to "Act as a centre of excellence with inherent multi-disciplinarity and an ability to respond to new developments that cut across subject boundaries and having ability to translate fundamental research to clinical care. A successful multi-disciplinary approach, moving from concept of materials to patients, involving scientists, engineers and clinicians, demonstrating the added value of the Interdisciplinary Research Centre in Biomedical Materials (IRCBM) mode of support.”

• Ultimate aim of the centre is to produce implants for Interdisciplinary needs, which requires continuous efforts to keep developing the new generation of implants. Main objectives of the IRCBM will be accomplished through the realization of the following sub objectives.
• Establish an Interdisciplinary focus for teaching and research in Biomedical Materials in Pakistan.
• Co-ordinate and integrate research in the multidisciplinary subject spectrum associated with Biomedical Materials (i.e. relevant aspects of cell biology, biochemistry, basic medical science, materials science, bioengineering, clinical medicine and dentistry).
• Establish a generation of implant materials and prostheses with enhanced lifetimes in orthopaedic, cardiovascular and dental applications.
• Progress innovative Biomedical Materials from concept to patient.
• Produce an effective interface between IRCBM, industry, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Science and Technology and appropriate academic and research institutions.
• Facilitate technology transfer through an IRCBM Industrial Affiliates Clubs.
• Form a network with complementary Interdisciplinary laboratories.
• Provide distinctive education and training in Biomedical Materials and Engineering, producing quality MPhil and PhD scientists.
• Collaborative research programmes, both at undergraduate and graduate levels with International Universities.
