Education >> Ph.D Programs
We also have an active program for PhD in molecular biology related to hematology. This was initiated in 1995 and 4-5 students are registered at any time through different members of the faculty.
Students receive training in various molecular genetic techniques and engage with faculty members on significant research problems in hematology. They also benefit from the opportunity to interact with clinical faculty from hematology as well as other departments
Positions are advertised when there is a vacancy in all leading newspapers. Students will be short listed according to their academic performance. Short listed students will undergo a written examination and an interview conducted by the department.
