Grand Challenges India and the Program Management Unit at BIRAC (PMU-BIRAC) are pleased to announce the launch of a call on ‘ki Data Challenge for Maternal and Child Health’, a program directed at addressing key knowledge gaps in our understanding of how nutrition, prenatal and antenatal care, maternal support, and environmental and social factors contribute to an elevated risk of poor maternal and childhood health outcomes. Grand Challenges India is a partnership of Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, BIRAC and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
IBSE is very pleased to introduce you all to our guest speaker Dr Nathan Bachmann from University of Sydney. He is currently working with Dr. Sivaraman at National Institute for Research in Tuberculosis (NIRT). Dr. Nathan and Dr. Sivaraman are working on whole-genome sequencing of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis samples. IBSE is very excited to explore potential collaborations with Dr. Nathan’s group at University of Sydney and NIRT on topics ranging from evolution of drug resistance to how social networks drive spread of Tuberculosis infection.
