Applications are invited for the positions of Project Linked Persons for extramural projects to be executed by the
National Institute of Biomedical Genomics, Kalyani. Selected applicants will be appointed for a period of one year.
Project Name & Funding Authority:
Project - 1: “Understanding the biology of stem-like cancer cells from human oral tumors”. [Funded by
Department of Biotechnology-Wellcome Trust India Alliance].
Project - 2: “A metagene signature indicative of prognosis and/or response to therapy in breast cancer”, [Funded
by WB-DBT]
Project Description:
Project - 1: Oral cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in Indian population. The majorities of the oral tumors
do not respond satisfactorily to available treatments or quickly become non-responsive. This has prompted us
to undertake an investigation on the biology of oral-stem-like cancer cells (Oral-SLCCs). These cells are
believed to be associated with tumor initiation, propagation, metastasis, recurrence and resistance to therapy
in a variety of cancers.
Project - 2: Breast Cancer recurrence is a common problem although multiple treatments are already
available. However, only some women recur and require more aggressive treatment, which is not essential for
women who will respond to therapy. The aim of this project is to design a PCR/exosome based genetic test
that will allow us to identify women who will recur so that their cancer can be treated differently.
Walk-in interview will be organized In Project 1 to recruit Self-motivated individuals for the position of Research
Fellows (Tier-I and Tier-II) to undertake the challenging yet fascinating task of identification of Oral-SLCCs from human
tumors for its genomic and functional characterization. In Project 2 (Junior Research Fellow), the candidates will have
a unique opportunity to learn basic molecular/cell biology techniques like PCR, western blotting, tissue culture,
handling of patient samples, isolation of exosomes and making NGS libraries.
The date of walk-in interview is 05.09.2018 starting from 10 AM. Details of this position are listed below: Each
applicant can appear for only for one position. No TA/DA will be paid for attending the interview.
Following documents are required at the time of interview: a. Curriculum Vitae along with reprints of publications, if any
b. One Passport- size coloured Photograph
c. Self-Attested Copies of Certificates of Educational Qualifications
d. Self-Attested Copies of Experience Certificates
e. Govt. issued Photo ID proof (Preferably Aadhar Card)
