Institute of Advanced Virology (IAV) is pleased to extend an invitation to the industries and R&D organizations to submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) for participating in an Industry-Sponsored PhD Program in the areas of advanced virology. This program offers a unique opportunity for the industry/R&D organisations to collaborate on translational research aimed at addressing global challenges in virology.

Program Overview:

IAV aims to foster an environment that accelerates laboratory based virology research and its application to real-world problems. Industry-linked PhD program would augment the vision of IAV by bridging academic and industrial expertise, thereby enhancing the impact of translational virology research. Industry PhD program, co-designed by IAV and Industry, provides the scope for the candidates to focus on bench to bed-side research in virology. This program is expected to have an immediate translation of research outcomes for managing emerging and re-emerging viral diseases in terms of newer therapies, vaccines, diagnostic kits, pathogen surveillance, and public health interventions.
In the above context, we seek industry partners who intend to work on research projects that align with IAV’s interests and who are interested in sponsoring potential candidates to undergo PhD programme in Virology and contribute to advancing knowledge in the following areas:
•Antiviral therapeutics
•Vaccine strategies
•Bio-Assay Development
•Epidemiological modelling of viral diseases
•Diagnostic kits
•Viral Genomics and Bioinformatics
•Viral Pathogenesis
