This announcement invites applications to the Ph.D. in Life Sciences and the Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, run by Life Sciences, part of the School of Natural Sciences, for the Monsoon semester of 2026.
Research themes include cancer, viruses, cell signalling, epigenetics, brain science, plant biology, immunology and regeneration, and many projects cross departmental lines.
For life sciences, a master's degree in a biological science is required; for bioinformatics, a master's in bioinformatics, biotechnology, engineering or medicine with good programming knowledge is expected, in each case with minimum marks. Applicants may come through several routes. Candidates holding national fellowships go directly to a campus interview, and the announcement gives tentative interview dates. The announcement sets out how to apply and explains the selection process, including an on-campus interview in Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, and links to faculty research descriptions.
