NIBMG Cancer Genomics Research Associate Vacancy

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF BIOMEDICAL GENOMICS 
.O.: N.S.S., Kalyani 741251, West Bengal

Advertisement No. NIBMG/ADMIN/ESTB/2023-24/380 Date: 12-02-2024 

Applications are invited for the positions of Research Associate (Project Linked Persons) for extramural projects funded by ICMR as per details given below. 

Project Name: Fast detection of driver mutations and genes from cancer genomics data using an integrative machine learning-based approach. 

Principal Investigator: Dr. Nidhan Biswas 

Project description: Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide. Key alterations (known as driver events) within normal cells provide selective advantage and help tumour to grow. It is also well known that the profiles of driver alterations vary across intra- and inter-tumour as well as between cancer types. Identifying such driver alterations is crucial to understand the background biological mechanism at molecular level as well as determine the success of disease diagnosis and precision treatment in a clinical setting. This project aims to identify driver alterations that provide uncontrolled growth advantages resulting in normal cells becoming malignant tumours by applying ensemble machine learning (ML) algorithms both from patient cohort and single patient level. 

We are looking for motivated and bright individuals interested to explore career opportunities in this project at NIBMG for the position mentioned below: 

Essential Qualification 

(i) PhD in Computer Science or bioinformatics or Genomics with at least one research paper in Science Citation Indexed (SCI) journal. OR M. Tech in Computer Science with at least one research paper in Science Citation Indexed (SCI) journal with minimum three years of research experience.
