The BRIC-National Institute of Biomedical Genomics (NIBMG) is engaged in profiling alterations of cell types in the maternal-fetal interface and identify cell type specific expression signatures in placenta that are associated with placental development using single-cell transcriptomics in the ongoing multicenter study (in collaboration with THSTI and RCB, Faridabad) on “Multi-Omics Signatures of Human Placenta: Real time assessment of underlying mechanisms for prediction of birth outcomes and development,” funded by the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science & Technology, Govt. of India. Applications from motivated post-doctoral researchers with deep interest in the field of single cell transcriptomics and placenta biology are being invited for the following position in this study.
Post : RA-III in a DBT funded project
NIBMG invites eligible candidates for the position of RA-III in a DBT funded project titled “Multi- Omics Signatures of Human Placenta: Real time assessment of placental functions for development and birth outcomes” on contractual basis initially for 6 months.
Details of the project : Placenta is an essential organ that is considered to be the hub of feto-maternal interactions from conception to delivery. Placental insufficiency has been associated with several pregnancy related complications including preterm birth (PTB). However, direct invasive tissue-sampling from the placenta during pregnancy is not feasible due to inaccessibility and safety concerns. Here we propose to use state-of-the art tools involving multi-omics approach for development of methods to better understand molecular signatures of feto-maternal dynamics. Our ultimate goal of probing this understudied organ is to unravel its role in parturition and use of associated molecular signatures for developing deep-learning predictive models for PTB. Identification of these nodes could be used as diagnostic markers for monitoring the optimal placental functioning for healthy pregnancy. Thus, if successful, the outcome of this study would spark the development of cost-effective tests for prediction of PTB.
