For students interested in frontier research at the interface of biology, computation, physics and applied mathematics

IMSc is a leader in India in fundamental research in theoretical physics, mathematics and theoretical computer science, with several members actively pursuing research in interdisciplinary areas including computational biology. In 2013 IMSc started a unique Ph.D. programme in this subject, training students to apply cutting-edge computational and mathematical techniques to problems in modern biology, in collaboration with leading biology departments and institutions in India and abroad.
IMSc is an autonomous national research institute under the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, and a constituent institution of the Homi Bhabha National Institute (HBNI), Mumbai (a deemed university). Ph.D. degrees will be awarded by HBNI.
STRUCTURE OF PROGRAMME
Before embarking on their research, students have three semesters of coursework, which consists of seven core courses, to be carried out at IMSc; elective courses, which may be taken at IMSc or at other institutions by mutual consent; and lab rotations, at collaborating labs in other institutions. The core coursework covers essentials of modern biology, essential techniques from physics, mathematics, statistics and computer science, physics of proteins and biomolecules, biological sequence analysis and algorithms, and systems biology. Elective coursework covers various topics in greater depth. Following the coursework and a comprehensive examination, students will embark on research leading to a Ph.D. degree.
Selected candidates will be research fellows at IMSc and will receive fellowships, housing or house rent allowance, and contingency grants.

If you are using Windows you can easily upgrade to the latest version of R using the installr package. Simply run the following code in Rgui:

install.packages("installr") # install 
setInternet2(TRUE)
installr::updateR() # updating R.

Running “updateR()” will detect if there is a new R version available, and if so it will download+install it (etc.). There is also a step by step tutorial (with screenshots) on how to upgrade R on Windows, using the installr package. If you only see the option to upgrade to an older version of R, then change your mirror or try again in a few hours (it usually take around 24 hours for all CRAN mirrors to get the latest version of R).

I try to keep the installr package updated and useful, so if you have any suggestions or remarks on the package – you are invited to open an issue in the github page.
