Course Overview

The rapid evolution of genomics and molecular diagnostics is transforming the way cancer is detected, classified, and treated. Precision oncology now depends on decoding each patient’s unique genetic profile — enabling clinicians to personalize therapies, predict treatment response, and monitor disease progression more accurately than ever before.

The Fellowship in Molecular Biology & Genomics at HCG is designed for postgraduates who aspire to master the science behind molecular oncology and bring genomic innovation to clinical practice. The program provides a strong foundation in molecular biology techniques, cancer genomics, biomarker discovery, and translational research — with hands-on exposure to advanced diagnostic platforms and next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies.

With HCG’s cutting-edge molecular laboratories and close collaboration between scientists and clinicians, fellows gain the expertise to bridge the gap between research and patient care — preparing them to lead in the era of precision medicine.

Why This Fellowship Matters

  • Future of Cancer Care: Genomics and molecular profiling are revolutionizing how cancers are diagnosed and treated.
  • Need for Trained Specialists: There is a growing demand for professionals who can interpret molecular data and apply it in clinical decision-making.
  • Translational Research Impact: This fellowship equips participants to transform lab insights into real-world cancer therapies and diagnostics.
  • HCG Advantage: As one of India’s leading oncology networks, HCG provides exposure to a wide spectrum of molecular techniques, clinical integration, and collaborative research.

Fellowship Highlights

  • Hands-on Laboratory Training: Practical exposure to molecular assays, PCR, RT-PCR, NGS, cytogenetics, and bioinformatics tools.
  • Clinical Integration: Learn how to correlate genetic findings with patient outcomes, guiding targeted and immunotherapy-based treatments.
  • Multidisciplinary Learning: Work closely with oncologists, pathologists, molecular scientists, and bioinformaticians.
  • Research Opportunities: Participate in ongoing molecular oncology projects, publications, and translational research initiatives.
  • Technology Exposure: Training in state-of-the-art molecular labs equipped with high-throughput sequencing and advanced analytic platforms.
  • Career Pathways: Prepare for roles in molecular diagnostics, genomic research, precision oncology, or academic leadership.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this fellowship, fellows will be able to:

  • Understand and apply the principles of molecular biology, genomics, and cancer genetics.
  • Perform and interpret advanced molecular diagnostic tests (including PCR, NGS, FISH, and microarray).
  • Correlate genomic alterations with clinical phenotypes and therapeutic targets.
  • Implement precision oncology approaches for patient management.
  • Design and conduct translational research in cancer genomics.
  • Contribute to interdisciplinary tumour boards with evidence-based molecular insights.

Eligibility:

MD / DNB / PhD in Pathology, Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or related life sciences. Clinicians with relevant background in oncology or laboratory medicine may also apply.

FAQs:

Candidates with postgraduate qualifications (MD/DNB/PhD) in Pathology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or related disciplines are eligible.

You will develop expertise in molecular diagnostic methods, genomic sequencing, mutation analysis, and interpretation of data for precision oncology.

The program typically spans 12 months, including both laboratory training and translational research exposure.

Yes — fellows actively collaborate with oncologists and tumour boards to integrate molecular findings into treatment decisions.

Graduates can pursue careers as molecular pathologists, genomic scientists, or translational researchers in hospitals, diagnostic labs, academic institutions, or biotech organizations.
