Our group has an opening to host a student for a 6-month paid internship, starting in January 2026. If you are a 2nd-year Master's or 3rd/4th-year Bachelor's student & interested in learning evolution - please apply! Details at: https://ircc.iitb.ac.in/IRCC-Webpage/IITBInternship/
Welcome to the Microbial Evolution Lab in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay!
We are a group of biology enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds working in the broad area of evolution. Specifically, we are curious about answering questions related to speciation, adaptation, horizontal gene transfer, and gene duplication & diversification. We use theory and perform experiments using S. cerevisiae to help understand evolutionary processes.
