Online applications are invited for the post of a Project Associate-I (One-JRF) in a ICMR funded research project.

Title of the project: High-resolution plasma proteomic and lipidomic analyses for fibrosisrelated metabolic assessment in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients in India: A MultiCenter based study

Short description of the research project: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a clinical condition characterized by biventricular or left ventricular dilation and systolic impairment. DCM is one of the main contributors towards heart failure (HF) progression. Recent reports indicate that, deaths caused by DCM have been increasing in India in the last two decades. Although about 10% of the disease load have been explained by genetic mutations; the heterogenic pathophysiology of DCM has remained largely unexplained. Genetic, epigenetic, inflammation and several other stimuli can culminate towards the dilation of left ventricle of the heart leading to DCM. Due to its heteronomous etiology, timely clinical diagnosis becomes very challenging. Thus, there is a need for the discovery of new biomarkers of DCM in India. Currently, the state-of-the-art systems-biology based developments pose a new opportunity with extended capabilities for in-depth analyses of biofluids for the discovery of new biomarkers. This in turn will certainly improve the etiology driven personalized approach for clinical care in patients with DCM in India.

Roles and Responsibilities of the candidate: The candidate must be comfortable with performing extensive fieldwork in coordinating clinical sites (IGMC-Shimla, AIIMS-New Delhi) with IIT-Mandi including: – Interaction with patients for recruitment in the study, sample transport, maintaining clinical records such as detailed filled questionnaire, consent forms, sample storage etc. The candidate needs to perform all the basic wet-lab experiments with the patient sample, help in the lab for preparing buffers and other related work, analyse data, and help in preparing reports.
