Our Research

… in pursuit of scientific excellence

The Pathfinder Research and Training Foundation (PRTF) stands as a premier platform for cutting-edge research in Informatics and Systems Biology. This includes areas such as drug discovery, NGS analysis, metagenomics, structural biology, large-scale cell imaging, machine learning, and software development. The center is committed to excellence and leadership in scientific research and training, promoting an interdisciplinary approach to Informatics and Systems Biology. Our team of highly qualified scientists and research interns engages with contemporary academic and industrial topics, striving to produce impactful publications and innovative products.

The institute provides grants and state-of-the-art infrastructure to support cutting-edge research. A limited number of research fellowships are available to meritorious researchers, offering support comparable to that of leading government funding agencies. These fellowships aim to attract and nurture top talent, fostering innovation and excellence in scientific inquiry.

Duration of the project : 6 months to 5 years (as per project rules)

Program commencement : Availability of project (through advertisement)
