Assitants and Manager Posts at NIBG

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF BIOMEDICAL GENOMICS 
(An Autonomous Institution of the Government of India)

Positions available Systems Medicine Cluster (SyMeC): Accelerating Systems Medicine using a Cluster Approach 
Today, medicine is largely reactive. A medical practitioner treats the illness of a person, with varying levels of success. With the rise of genomics and the accumulation of large amounts of data on various diseases, a new systems-based approach to medicine has emerged. Clinical practitioners and researchers are increasingly realising that our bodies do not work as a set of independent components, but rather as an interacting system, with genes, proteins, cells and organs interacting with each other and the environment in complex ways. The understanding of this system will result in a transcendental change in medical practice; from reactive medicine, based on disease, to a predictive and preventive one centered on health. However, to effect this transition, complementary multi-domain expertise and experience are necessary. 
In conformity with the national priority of stimulating investment in biotechnology, a Biocluster has been created. The Biocluster is a platform – both intellectual and logistical – for generating required biological and medical evidence to accelerate systems medicine. The Biocluster comprises six institutions: 
 Bose Institute, 
 CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, 
 Indian Institute of Science Education & Research, 
 Indian Statistical Institute, 
 National Institute of Biomedical Genomics, 
 Tata Medical Centre; with the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics serving as the co-ordinating institution.

Globally, Preterm Birth (PTB) is the single largest cause of neonatal deaths. A birth that takes place before the mother has been pregnant for at least 37 weeks construes a preterm birth. In India, among the total 27 million babies born annually, 3.6 million babies are born preterm, and over 300,000 of these preterm babies die each year because of associated complications. India, with its highest number of PTBs and the highest number of preterm deaths worldwide, contributes 25% of the overall global preterm related deaths.
