B.SC. (HONS.) BIOINFORMATICS

Bioinformatics, an interdisciplinary field, uses the application of computational techniques to analyze the information associated with biomolecules on a large-scale.

It is a firmly established discipline in computational Biology, and encompasses a wide range of subject areas from Structural Biology, Genomics to Gene Expression Studies, Systems Biology, Chemiinformatics & Drug Designing, Phylogenetics, Biostatistics etc. The scope of bioinformatics is never ending with its association of biological knowledge and computational power, algorithms and tools to alter and analyze large-scale data.

B.Sc. (Hons.) Bioinformatics is a three year programme. In the first year, basic knowledge of science and computers are taught for giving the knowledge of fundamentals of the subjects. In the second and third year, specialized subjects related to Bioinformatics are taught.
