IIT Hyderabad is one among the 2nd generation of IITs started by the Govt. of India. Today IITH offers 9 B.Tech programs, 16 M.Tech programs, 3 M.Sc programs, 5 M.Phil programs, 1 M.Des program and Ph.D. programs in all branches of engineering, science, liberal arts and design. The very foundation of IIT Hyderabad is based on research and innovation. The vibrant research culture is evident from the number of patents and publications that IITH has. At IITH students are given with a plethora of choices, which they diligently choose with the help of a faculty advisor. Courses that last for a semester are almost a foregone story at IITH. From 14-15 academic year onwards all B.Tech programs started offering courses that are of smaller credits; called the fractal academics; very carefully designed to keep the enthusiasm of the students and to keep them in pace with the state of the art from 1st semester till 8th semester.

Post : JRF/SRF (Material-Field)

Recalcitrant chronic wound (diabetic foot, venous, arterial, neurotrophic and pressure ulcer) are a growing public health concern. With the expanding elderly population and increasing incidence of diabetes, localized management of these wounds is becoming a multibillion- dollar enterprise. Current treatments options and management of the chronic wound has limited success, required longer in-patient care, and often expensive and beyond the limit of the majority of the population in India.

Our laboratory (eNARM Lab, PI: Jyotsnendu Giri) at IIT Hyderabad (with collaboration with hospital) leading by highly energetic interdisciplinary peoples, is working at the interface between materials and biology to develop next-generation approaches for cancer chronic wound healing. We are seeking talented, motivated and passionate individuals (2 no) to join in our efforts for cutting-age research on “Novel biomaterials for chronic wound healing”. The candidate will get highly interdisciplinary work environment to perform cutting age research. The candidate will closely work with collaborators from Hospital in Hyderabad.
