Name of the Project - ‘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)
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.
We are looking for motivated and individuals with good academic standing who are interested to
explore career opportunities in this innovative multi-organization initiative undertaken by NIBMG in
