We offer 2 to 12 month research internships for bright diligent motivated graduate students in Biology, Biotech, Pharmacy, Bioinformatics, Health data analytics etc. The internships can be hands-on lab experience (molecular biology, cell biology, diagnostics, FACS etc.), or in medical data analysis, sample and clinical data organization in EMR/EHR databases. Specific clinically-relevant projects focused on patient treatment paradigms e.g., breast cancer, stent procedures drugs and outcomes, cost-benefit analysis of targeted drugs are also available.

Lab-based training is available at Hyderabad, whilst data and project-based training is available at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata and other metro locations where Apollo Hospitals are present.

Appropriate ethical approval for projects involving handling of patient material or data is always taken. Students are trained in confidentiality and safety norms.

In addition to a certificate of internship and thesis, students are encouraged to present their findings in conferences. Longer-term interns that make significant contribution to projects may also be acknowledged in presentations and publications from our group. Mentoring of students aspiring for MS/PhD abroad is done on a case-by-case basis.

“Epidemiological and survival analysis of triple negative breast cancer cases in a retrospective multicentre study” comprising 257 TNBC cases collated from across five cancer centres in India has been accepted for publication. It should be out in a few months.

Next one summarizing data from >6500 Indian breast cancer cases, of all receptor types, is under preparation. Our goal is to exceed 10,000 cases within the year.

Our database of breast cancer samples, complete diagnosis and treatment info, combined with 3-5 year outcomes data offers tremendous opportunity to study Indian risk factors, identify optimal treatment paradigms for each subtype of patients, analyze cost-benefit ratio of different surgical/chemo/RT treatments, etc. We expect using them to also develop better prognostic, diagnostic and theranostic tests to improve survival in breast cancer patients.

Stay tuned!
