(SCI) Journal.
The candidate must have
proven experience in handling
biochemistry, Cell and
Molecular Biology
experiments along with
animal experience with
small animal models (e.g.,
mice or rats) for in vivo
validation of in vitro cellular
findings. The candidate must
have at least one (and
preferably more) first-author
research paper in reputed
journals.
Project: Impact of DNA topology and its structural alterations on genome organisation and
