IUSSTF INDO-U.S. GENOME ENGINEERING/EDITING TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE FELLOWSHIP

Acknowledging the importance of strategies & techniques in genome modification, as modern-day essential tools for research & development, the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Govt. of India along with Indo U.S. Science & Technology Forum, IUSSTF announces a fellowship program between Indian institutes and premier U.S. Universities, in significant areas of Genome Engineering/Editing Technology (GETin). The program is open to individuals whose research work has an interface with Genome Engineering / Editing Technology studies. The Program is envisaged to: 1. Provide an opportunity to best and brightest Indian students and scientists to gain exposure and access to world-class research facilities in leading U.S. institutions; 2. Promote research and capacity building. 3. Encourage and motivate outstanding students to take up research as a career path. 4. Create attractive avenues for skilled overseas researchers to pursue R&D in Indian or to mentor Indian scientist (s); and, 5. Pave the way for the next generation of scientists and technologists from India to interact with American peers, thus helping to build long-term R&D linkages and collaborations.
