Research program structure

This research program is divided into two parts: the junior scientist program and the senior scientist program. The junior scientist program will cover all basics and backgrounds which will be required for taking advanced topics in the senior scientist program.

Mode of instructions and evaluation

  • Interactive session and practical- six days a week (5 hours each).

  • Office hours with scientists- three days a week (6 hours each).

  • Guest lectures with skilled scholars, from across the world.

  • 24 x 7 asynchronous access to the faculty.

Eligibility

  • If you have a degree in biology and wish to focus on the exciting interdisciplinary field of bioinformatics, then our program in bioinformatics is designed for you.

  • A written test and personalized one on one interviews and ensure individualized attention and suitability for the program.

Research program requirements

Laptop Work

This research program consists of an extensive analysis of genomic data. The analysis of genomic scale data requires a very high computational power. Any applicant willing to be part of this research program must possess or have access to high-configuration computational systems during the entire research program period.

System requirements
  • Processor: i5/Ryzen5, i7/Ryzen7, i9/Ryzen9,
       (higher configurations are also preferable).
​​
  • RAM: 16 GB or higher.
​​
  • Operating system: Linux-based system
       (Ubuntu/ CentOS/Fedora) (with BASH shell) or Windows with WSL.

How do you join this program?

To join this research program click on the "Apply Now" button to fill out and submit the application form. You will receive a link for a multiple-choice-based test on the email address that you provided in the application form. The test will be of 30 minutes consisting of 30 objective-type questions. Each question has four options, of which only one will be correct. 

​

The test's level of difficulty is at the biology graduation level. The questions will cover subjects of cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, immunology, human anatomy and physiology, basic mathematics, and statistics. After the successful completion and submission of the test, you will be invited for an interview, if shortlisted. Your entry into this research program will be determined based on your performance in the interview.
 
Moreover, in addition to the research program, you will have to identify exciting research questions and possible solution paths to find the answer. Our expert faculty is available to help you anytime during office hours. We promise to make an intellectual playground available to you.

​

All the very best in your performance!
