The Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST) is an autonomous R & D
institute under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), GOI engaged in
multidisciplinary research on basic science and technology development. IASST has a research
group focused on understanding the role of various ethnicity factors on human gut microbiome
and health. One of the mandates of IASST is to enhance livelihood of the ST/SC communities of
the north-east through scientific interventions. DST has sanctioned a proposal for expanding our
ongoing activities under ‘ST/SC community development programme in IASST’ with 2
components, Component I: ‘Heritage food and beverage research’ and Component II: Lab
experience based science education for SC & ST Students. The project proposes (i) to understand
the traditional dietary components of the ethnic communities (ST/SC) on human microbiome
and health, (ii) optimization of production process of potential ethnic food for promotion as
functional food, (iv) involve ST/SC communities in the production and marketing of such
functional food to enhance their income and (v) enhancing scientific temperament in the
community. The sanctioned project is initially for 3 years and successful implementation of the
project will generate revenues for sustaining and development of a dedicated research
programme at IASST in future. IASST aims to engage a highly motivated research team to
achieve the goal. Applications are invited from potential candidates for filling up the post of
