coterminous with the project) positions under a DBT funded research project on
“Understanding the functional significance of RNA exosome complex sub-unit
EXOSC1, implicated in the rare disease pontocerebellar hypoplasia, using cellular
and zebrafish model systems”
Qualified and interested candidates may send their curriculum vitae by e-mail to
