This course is designed to address the growing need of manpower for the biotech and pharmaceutical organizations.

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. Bioinformatics tools are used to efficiently identify drug targets and drug candidates, thereby decreasing the time to bring new therapeutics to market

The objective of this course is to impart training in software application development, mathematics, statistics, cell & molecular biology, and other bioinformatics tools. Emphasis is laid on understanding scientific databases & algorithms, sequence analysis (using GCG Wisconsin Package) and programing in various languages applicable to modern biology.

The course includes an integrated project which involves the application of the above aspects.
