Param Hansa Philanthropies (PHP) has made a generous commitment to support the setting up of the Param Hansa Centre for Computational Oncology (PHCCO) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). The Centre was officially launched at a ceremony held on 2 November 2023. It marks a major leap forward in the quest to integrate cutting-edge computational methodologies with groundbreaking cancer research.
PHCCO will be offering a 7-week summer internship program to train up to 25 undergraduate students each year across diverse disciplines and institutes in fundamentals of computational oncology, by a dedicated set of classes and hands-on sessions, research discussions, and through active engagement in experimental and clinical oncology colleagues too.
The 2024 summer internship program will run from May 20 – July 5, and the application deadline is January 10, 2024.
