Recruitment for Senior Technology officer and Research Associate positions

Regional Centre for Biotechnology invites applications from suitably qualified, dynamic, result oriented and dedicated candidates for the following positions on contractual basis with consolidated emoluments under “Inter-Institutional Program for Maternal, Neonatal and Infant Sciences: A translational approach to studying preterm birth”.

Preterm birth is one of the major global public health problems and it is the single largest cause of neonatal deaths. India contributes the highest number of preterm birth and deaths worldwide (~25%). From a clinical perspective, it is of paramount importance to understand the molecular processes involved in preterm birth for early prediction, or prevention of preterm birth. RCB will lead the proteomics component of preterm birth project. We will be investigating the proteomics alterations that occur at different stages of pregnancy, identify the proteins that are associated with preterm birth and an integrative analysis of genomic and proteomic alterations in order to identify physiological and molecular pathway mechanisms that are altered in relation to preterm birth. The longterm goal for this project is to identify the biomarkers relevant for early prediction of preterm birth or future target molecule for drug discovery.

RCB has integrated proteomics platform comprising of Triple-TOF 5600 Mass Spectrometry system (ABSciex) and MALDI-TOF/TOF 5800 System (ABSciex), with high-end computing facility.
