In 2009, AIPH brought the much-needed expertise in various domains of public health to Odisha, and the region. During the last ten years various educational, training and research programmes in birth asphyxia, malaria, water sanitation and hygiene, TB, and women’s health were added to the portfolio of AIPH in collaboration with Duke University, UC Davis, Emory, and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. 

Faculty members at AIPH University are now engaged in basic and translational research in infectious diseases, cancer epidemiology, big data analytics, environmental health, chronic diseases, water sanitation and hygiene, microbiome and probiotics, and region-specific problems such as sickle cell disease. Results of these studies funded by DBT and ICMR – India, NIH-USA, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation through Child Health Research Foundation, WHO-UNICEF, other state and central government agencies have been published in the world’s best journals including Nature, Lancet, and PLoS Medicine to name a few. This has allowed AIPH faculty to carry a high h-index and attract new collaboration, and funding to achieve excellence. 
AIPH University is committed to being a leader in education, research and service and providing a platform to students, faculty, and collaborating researchers from around the world to teach, learn, and innovate for improving population health locally and worldwide. The students and faculty at AIPH University have the privilege of interacting and working with leading experts from different parts of the world. It is a two-way exchange that is beneficial for developing an understanding of the working environment that prevails in the current times.
