INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS INTERESTED TO PURSUE DOCTORAL RESEARCH AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF BIOMEDICAL GENOMICS (NIBMG), KALYANI
Applications are welcomed from suitable candidates to pursue doctoral research at NIBMG. The selected students are expected to work on human diseases with emphasis on gaining biological insights into disease mechanisms making use of clinical samples and appropriate models, both in silico and in vivo. NIBMG is equipped with state of the art technologies that include single-cell sequencing and bulk DNA sequencing NGS platforms, extensive computational and bioinformatics facility, genetic engineering including cutting-edge CRISPR-Cas Genome editing labs, FACS (cell sorter), low and high-resolution imaging facility, Multiplex Elisa/ ALPHA-LISA, upcoming state-of-the-art zebrafish and proteomics centres.
The broad areas of research on which students are expected to work are listed below:
1. Biomedical Genomics and the functional implications in the context of:
A. Infectious disease
B. Chronic disease
C. Cancer
2. Computational Biology and Statistical Genomics
15% OF THE SEATS ARE RESERVED FOR THE SC CATEGORY, 7.5% FOR THE ST CATEGORY AND 27% FOR NON-CREAMY LAYER OBC CATEGORY. CERTIFICATES FROM RELEVANT AUTHORITIES ARE TO BE PROVIDED AS PROOF, BEFORE THE INTERVIEW.
The minimal eligibility standards for accepting students at NIBMG to pursue research leading to a Ph.D. degree are:
