Project Research Scientist II – Aggressive CTCs Identification in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Advertisement No: NIBMG/ADMIN/ACADEMIC/PRJ RECT/2025-26/286 Date:02-01-2026 Position available: Online Interview Project Title: Identification of potentially aggressive CTCs (Circulating Tumour Cells) using single cell multiomics: Implications for prognostication and therapeutic target identification in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma patients” Project Description: In this project, multiomic analysis of potentially aggressive circulating tumour cells (OSCC) at the single-cell level will be undertaken to provide insights into the heterogeneity of CTCs and help identify aggressive subpopulations of CTCs. Ultimately, the signatures of aggressive CTCs will be used to develop a prognostic panel for the prediction of oral cancer patients at higher risk of disease recurrence.
