IBAB continually endeavours to expand its offerings to students interested in pursuing a career in bioinformatics and biotechnology. Recently, the institute began accepting Ph.D. scholars to carry out research under the able guidance of our faculty. We currently have four research scholars who have secured fellowships and are registered for their PhDs. Other students have initiated their work and look forward to being formally registered soon. In parallel with the increasing number of Core Faculty, the number of research scholars will also increase in the next few years.
