Viswanathan.[10][11] In 1971, together with his father, he set up the first private diabetes centre in India, the M.V. Hospital for Diabetes[12] and continued to work at this centre till 1991. Mohan and his late wife Rema Mohan who was an international recognized ophthalmologist / scientist in the field of diabetes eye diseases, subsequently established their own diabetes centre under the name of "Dr. Mohan’s Diabetes Specialities Centre" which has grown to become one of the largest diabetes centres in the world.[13] He and his daughter R.M. Anjana[14][15][16] and son in law Ranjit Unnikrishnan[17] and their colleagues currently oversee a chain of 50 diabetes centres across 8 states and 32 cities of India.

In 1996, Mohan and his late wife Rema established the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF) at Chennai which has grown to become one of the largest standalone diabetes research centres[18][19][20] in Asia with over 20 scientists. Over 75 students have obtained their PhD degree working at MDRF, from 4 Universities, namely the Madras University, The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University, the Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia[21][22] and the University of Warwick, UK. His research combines clinical, epidemiological, and genomic aspects of diabetes. He has over 1620 publications including over 1040 original research articles in peer-reviewed journals, 389 invited reviews and editorials and 187 chapters in text-books on Diabetes and Internal Medicine. As of September 2023, his research work has an h-index of 153, an i-10 index of 926 and has received over 190,000 citations.[3] His areas of work include Epidemiology of diabetes and its complications, Genomics of diabetes, Precision Diabetes, Nutrition and Diabetes and Fibrocalculous Pancreatic Diabetes (FCPD).[23] He described the criteria for diagnosis of FCPD which is known as Mohan's criteria for FCPD.[24][25] He has also done seminal work on describing the Asian Indian (South Asia) Phenotype of type 2 diabetes.[26] He was the national co-ordinator for the ICMR – INDIAB[27] national epidemiological study of diabetes and other NCDs, carried out on 113,000 individuals representative of India's 1.4 billion people and covering all states and union territories of India.[28][29] He has also been involved in the other large epidemiological studies like CURES[30] (n = 26,000), PURE[31] (n = 225,000 individuals in 27 high, middle and low-income countries) and CARRS[32] (n = 20,000). His work on Monogenic Diabetes is well recognised.[33][34] He and his colleagues have set up a National Registry for Monogenic Diabetes in India.[35]
