Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is an emerging scientific inter-disciplinary course representing the combined knowledge of biology, microbiology, biochemistry, biophysics, chemistry, mathematics and computer science. Bioinformatics is essential to handle the enormous amount of biological data and information being generated by researchers identifying the lengthy DNA sequences of human beings, plants, animals, microbes blue prints and biological data of micro organisms. The department has a state - of the -art laboratory with high-performance computing systems, which are connected to one high-end server with Accelrys (the USA ) Commercial Software and 30 computers. The alumni are placed in reputed Bioinformatics and Software companies. This Course also motivates the students to go in for freelance consulting. The department extends Facilities to research scholars of other institutions. This course have wide scope in medical coding/decoding., Microurray technical, clinical trail diagnostics and medical transcription to other fields.
