Bioinformatics, the application of informatics to biological problems, is used extensively to examine the structure function of genes and proteins. The bioinformatics market primarily is driven by the need of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to increase the efficiency of their drug discovery and development efforts. This course imparts training in software applications development, mathematics, statistics, cell & molecular biology and other bioinformatics tools. Bioinformatics is growing rapidly with applications in the areas such as functional genomics, comparative genomics, genome/proteome annotations, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and tool development. There is a huge shortage of skilled bioinformaticians to work for industry, academics and government sectors. Here we aim to mould biologists as bioinformatics professionals through appropriate training and real time projects.
