IIT Hyderabad JRF/SRF Recruitment at Dept. of Biomedical Engineering
“Novel Biomaterials Based Personalized Burn Wound Care at Patient Bedside”
(JRF/SRF) @ Department of Biomedical Engineering, IIT Hyderabad
Burns are one of the most common and devastating forms of trauma. In 2004, nearly 11
million people worldwide and 1 million people in India were burned moderately or severely. An estimated 0.1 million deaths every year are caused by burns mainly in low- and middle-income countries. The current treatment modalities of burn wound depend on the degree-of-burn, and based on the supportive treatment to the patient to heal the skin tissue by their own. The current treatment modalities of burn trauma are not effective for lost skin tissue regeneration as well as expensive and not affordable for common Indian population.
Our laboratory (eNARM Lab, https://www.iith.ac.in/~jgiri/ PI: Dr. Jyotsnendu Giri, Associate Professor) at IIT Hyderabad (with collaboration with hospital) leading by highly energetic interdisciplinary peoples, is working at the interface between materials and biology to develop next-generation Regenerative approaches for burn wound healing, which can be applied at patient bedside. We are seeking talented, motivated and passionate individuals (1 no) to join in our efforts for cutting-age research on “Novel biomaterials based personalized for burn wound care at patient bedside”.
The candidate will get highly interdisciplinary work environment to perform cutting age research. The candidate will closely work with collaborators from Hospital in Hyderabad.Name of the Post – JRF/SRF
