The Institute for Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine (www.instem.res.in), Bangalore is an
autonomous institute of the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. inStem’s mandate is
to establish collaborative research programs involving interdisciplinary teams with translation
emphasis as its core. inStem has six major thematic programs at Bangalore, several in close
collaborations with clinicians, in areas of brain disorders, cardiac disease, tissue repair following
injury and inflammation, cell differentiation and plasticity and chemical approaches aiding discovery.
The Institute invites Online Applications from eligible and interested candidates for filling up the

Level-13 1 UR
ABOUT THE POST:
Applications at the level of Scientist E/Assistant Professor are invited for the Brain Development and
Disease Mechanisms (BDDM) theme, which seeks to understand the development of the mammalian
brain at multiple scales of organization. In particular, we are interested in exploring cell-cell
interactions and sub-cellular processes that underpin normal brain development and may result, when
altered, in brain diseases. Such processes include membrane organization, translational control,
chromatin regulation, RNA mediated mechanisms and related processes. The work within this theme
seeks to link these basic biological mechanisms to aspects of human brain diseases including disease
susceptibility, disease progression and pharmacogenomics to inform on the development of novel
diagnostic and therapeutic options. The theme adopts a multi-disciplinary approach to understand
brain function through discovery biology and disease modelling using modern stem cell technology
including organoids, human genomics and gene editing technology, imaging and sophisticated
physiological analysis. The scientific strategy of the theme links these technologies to clinical cohorts
of relevant human brain diseases with associated biorepository resources as well as suitable animal
models for in vivo analysis.
The successful candidate would have a consistent track record of scientific accomplishment (as
demonstrated through publications) in areas of cellular and molecular neuroscience including modern
genetic analysis of polygenic human diseases. They would be expected to lead an internationally
competitive research program within the broad area of brain development and disease mechanisms,
mapped to the scientific goals of the BDDM theme. This would include the supervision of Ph.D
students, post-doctoral fellows and leveraging external resources to drive forward their research
program. The successful candidate will use technical approaches and address scientific questions that
add novel dimensions to the BDDM theme effort while also benefitting from the existing skills and
resources already assembled in the theme. For full details of the BDDM theme, please visit:
