Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is an emerging scientific interdisciplinary course representing the combined knowledge of Biology, Computer science, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Chemistry, Statistics. 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, and microbes blue print and biological data of microorganisms. The courses have wide scope in Bioinformatics companies and Pharmaceutical companies, and Biotechnology companies and other Industrial Applications. The Department with state of art laboratory with high performance computing systems, which are connected to one high –end server with Accelerys (USA) commercial software and 30 technologically upgraded computers. The alumni are placed in reputed Bioinformatics and Software companies across the country and in abroad. The course also motivates the students to go in for freelance consulting. The department extends facilities to Research scholars of other institutions.
