About this position
Advertisement No: NIBMG/ADMIN/ESTB/2025-26/325 Date: 03-02-2026 Position available: Online Interview Project Title: Expansion of INSACOG - Wastewater Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2, Emerging Pathogens and Antimicrobial Resistance through Genomics-Based Methods The National Institute of Biomedical Genomics (NIBMG) is an Institute of Biotechnology Research and Innovation Council of Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. This is the first institution in India explicitly devoted to research, training, translation & service and capacity-building in Biomedical Genomics. It is located in Kalyani, West Bengal, India, near Kolkata. BRIC-NIBMG was an important core laboratory and integral partner of Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomic Consortium (INSACOG) from its establishment during the COVID-19 pandemic, December 2020. It has established a nationwide network of sequencing laboratories for SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance in phase I and expanded to include Sewage Surveillance for setting an early alarm system for SARS-CoV-2 community infection and Hospital Network Study for understanding the clinical course, severity, risk factors and outcomes of patients affected with various strains of SARS-CoV-2, in phase II. Now INSACOG is expanding beyond SARS-CoV-2 to set a pan-India surveillance system for all emerging, known and priority pathogens (both viral and bacterial) to establish nationwide baseline information for viral and bacterial pathogens along with their AMR capacity and setting an early warning system for any disease surge and aid in identifying variants of concern, facilitating timely updates for vaccines and therapeutics. This multi- institutional project has been funded through Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), under Grand Challenges India program.
