BRIC-NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF BIOMEDICAL GENOMICS (NIBMG),
KALYANI
Applications are invited from suitable candidates to pursue doctoral research at NIBMG. The selected students are expected to work on human diseases with emphasis on gaining genomics and biological insights into disease mechanisms using clinical samples and appropriate models, both in silico, in-vitro and in vivo.
NIBMG is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies which include single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics and next generation sequencing platforms, robotics platforms, high-end computational and bioinformatics facility, cell and molecular biology facilities, genetic engineering including cutting-edge CRISPR-Cas genome editing laboratories. High-end equipments including imaging base flow cytomers, confocal microscopes with deeptissue imaging capability, BSL3 facility, bacteriology and radioactivity labs, zebrafish facility, proteomics, metabolomics, experimental animal facility and microbiome facilities are available.
We are seeking bright young researchers interested in pursuing PhD projects in the following broad areas and inter-disciplinary biology between these areas:
Chronic and Metabolic Diseases: Cardiopulmonary & congenital heart diseases, Diabetes, , insulin resistance, lipid metabolism and integrative host–microbiome analysis across diseases, Neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.
Infectious and Immune Disorders: Tuberculosis, host genetics and microbiome, autoimmune diseases and novel immunotherapeutic approaches, Neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.
Cancer Biology: Pancreatic cancer, Tumor microenvironment, progression, therapeutic targets, colon cancer, breast cancer and personalized therapies against cancers.
Computational and Systems Biology: Computational genomics, gene–gene interactions, geneenvironment interaction, single-cell transcriptomics and alternate splicing.
Experimental Platforms: In vitro, in vivo, and in silico models; translational studies with mechanistic and therapeutic relevance.
Fellowship: Admissible as per Govt. of India rules as provided by respective funding agency.
THE ON-LINE INTERVIEW WILL BE HELD AT NIBMG on 11-05-2026 and 12-05-2026 from 10-00 AM.
