The Institute has created the necessary physical infrastructure and critical platform technologies to support research, translation and trainingin biomedical genomics.

We are looking for motivated and individuals with good academic standing who are interested in exploring career opportunities in this innovative multi-organization initiative undertaken by NIBMG in the position mentioned as below.

Post : Senior Research Fellow (SRF) (as per DST O.M. DST/PCPM /Z06/2022)

Project name : Inter-Institutional Programme for Maternal Neonatal and Infant Sciences a Translational approach-interdisciplinary group for advanced research on Birth outcomes-DBT India Initiative (GARBH-Ini Phase II)
Principal Investigator’s name : Prof. Arindam Maitra
Project Description : Under its Grand Challenge Programme, the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt. of India, has initiated a large multi–institutional and multi–phase research programme on PTB. The first phase of the programme has formally been launched in December 2013. The PTB programme has established a hospital-based cohort of pregnant women starting from the first trimester, each of whom will be followed up until delivery (GARBH-Ini). The cohort is ongoing in a district hospital in Gurgaon, Haryana. Because of the multifactorial nature of preterm birth, scientific expertise from multiple domains of clinical, biological, and statistical sciences are required to identify the correlates, causes and predictive biomarkers of preterm birth. Therefore, a cross-disciplinary platform is being used to bridge expertise from disparate fields, such as, paediatrics, gynaecology, infectious disease biology, epidemiology, microbiology, immunology, cellular & molecular biology, genetics, statistics and computational & systems biology.
