The Institute for Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine (www.instem.res.in), Bangalore,
is an autonomous institute under the Biotechnology Research and Innovation Council of the
Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India.
BRIC-inStem’s mandate is to establish collaborative research programs in the field of stem cell
biology, regeneration and repair, in development and disease, with translational emphasis. In
order to develop strengths in focused areas, research at BRIC-inStem is driven through
interdisciplinary and collaborative efforts, addressing questions that are beyond the scope of a
single laboratory.
BRIC-inStem, Bengaluru, invites applications from exceptional candidates in the areas of
Human Embryology, Reproductive Biology, Stem Cell Biology, and Regenerative Medicine, for
faculty appointments at the rank of Scientist E & D at its Centre for Research, Application
and Training in Embryology (CReATE). This Centre is dedicated to advancing fundamental
and translational research in early development, employing human stem cell-based models and
allied approaches to explore applications in reproductive health, congenital anomaly prevention,
and regenerative medicine.
