Bioinformatics - Future of Biological Research
Coordinators: Dr P. N. Dutta Gupta

Bioinformatics is an emerging interdisciplinary area of Science and Technology, encompassing a systematic development and application of IT solution to handle biological information or data obtained by experiments, modeling, database, search and instrumentation. It touches all areas of biology, with application to genome analysis, protein structure, prediction, target identification, drug-design, metabolomics and systems biology. It is of central importance in the genomic and post-genomic age because of the vast amounts of information that are becoming available from different disciplines for example-sequencing of human, bacterial, rice genomes have unraveled plethora of information which can be put to best use by using this technology. A newcomer to this field might be intimidated by the hype created around BIOINFORMATICS. The programme is therefore, designed to provide an experience for an individual from any field to get acquainted with this discipline.

Course Content:
The course is designed to provide the basic information regarding -

• What is bioinformatics?
• What is computational biology?
• Components of bioinformatics
• Genomics and proteomics
• Computer-aided drug design
• Goals
• Tools
• Prospects

Series of lectures along with added practicals will be the highlight of the programme.

Students will have the chance to interact with the scientists working in this field.
