Indian Institute of Science, Junior/Senior research fellow post available | Microbiology and Cell Biology

The KSS lab of the Microbiology and Cell Biology department of IISc is looking for individuals who are well versed with Next Generation Sequencing and Microarray data analysis. The primary research interest of the lab is genetics of brain tumors. The work will include analysis of NGS data (WGS, WES, RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq) data obtained from the IISc NGS facility (Illumina HiScanSQ) for detection of novel variants and genetic abnormalities associated with cancer of glial cells. Furthermore, variants identified through NGS analysis will be correlated with gene expression and methylation status of in-house and external tumor samples and vice versa. Additional details regarding the ongoing work in the lab can be obtained from the lab website : http://www.mcbl.iisc.ernet.in/KumarS/Home.html
