Omics technologies have revolutionized our understanding of human health and disease. North-Eastern Region (NER) of India holds immense potential for biomedical research, but its medical faculty and biomedical researchers lack essential R&D knowledge, skills, and access to facilities and expertise on modern omics technologies and tools, limiting NER’s ability to address key health and disease challenges. To address this gap, CSIR-North East Institute of Science and Technology (CSIR-NEIST) is organizing a training program entitled "4-Weeks Comprehensive Training on Omics for Biomedical Application" from 21 November to 20 December 2024. This area-specific hands-on training program aims to develop, upgrade and equip health research personnel, medical faculty, scientists, and young researchers from the Northeastern Region (NER) with advanced knowledge and practical skills in genomics, metagenomics, transcriptomics, and bioinformatics tools. The program aims to develop and upgrade their expertise, enabling them to contribute effectively to biomedical research Through expert guidance and advanced genomics infrastructure, the program will foster a transformational step, promoting genomic medicine in healthcare research and practices in the NER region.

• Clinicians, Medical Faculties, Scientists, Post-doctoral Fellows, and Young PhD Researchers engaged in Biomedical Research.

• Applicants must be affiliated and working in a medical or research institute, college, or university located in any of the eight states of NER.

• Application open: 10 October 2024

• Application deadline: 24 October 2024
