National Institute of Biomedical Genomics (NIBMG) Kalyani is an Institute of Government of India, Ministry of Science & Technology, Department of Biotechnology. The Institute has created necessary physical infrastructure and critical platform technologies to support research, translation and training in biomedical genomics.

“Integrating Multi-Omics Data using Big Data Analytics to Infer Optimal Lifecourse Trajectories for Management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs): Cervical cancer as an Exemplar”.

Project Description: This Programme Project is anchored on the globally-emerging tenet that disease is the hallmark of an adverse life-course trajectory, modulated by inherited genomic factors and life-exposures that alter the epigenome. These factors and alterations are monitorable and partially actionable for the benefit of the individual. The scale and complexity of data are too massive for standard statistical analyses and actions based on these data must be taken quickly, if not in real time. NIBMG has, therefore, proposed AI-based approaches to derive actionable inferences from such data to meet National Health Care Challenges. Cervical cancer will be used as an exemplar of the AI-based approach, with longitudinal monitoring of HPV infection, host-pathogen genomic and epigenomic interactions based on various biospecimens, including circulating cells/exosomes and cellular products such as DNA/RNA, longitudinal tissue images, and life-style factors.
