Unit / Project Description

The Global-Glocal Research Centre (G2RC) builds on a legacy of visionary philanthropy and commitment to advancing global health research.

G2RC began as the Chanchlani Research Centre which had its genesis from a transformative $10 million fund (initiated through a $1 million gift from Vasu and Jaya Chanchlani) that enabled its creation. The G2RC is now situated within the Mary Heersink School of Global Health and Social Medicine and operates. This new academic home strengthens our capacity for interdisciplinary collaboration and reinforces our commitment to addressing complex global health challenges.

The G2RC provides a dynamic and intellectually enriching environment for students in statistics, epidemiology, and medicine, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, innovation, and critical inquiry. Our research advances scientific discovery while engaging deeply with the social, structural, cultural, and clinical dimensions of health, all in service of promoting health equity across local and global context.
