Introduction : Bioinformatics, the application of computer technology to management of biological information, is used extensively to examine the structure function of genes and proteins.

Ex-data through Human Genome Project. Computers gather, store, analyze and integrate biological and genetic information, which can then be applied to gene-based drug discovery and development. Bioinformatics is a useful tool in biological research or drug development.

This course imparts training in software applications development, mathematics, statistics, cell & molecular biology, medical specialties and other bioinformatics tools with training and projects. There is a great demand of skilled bioinformatics professionals to work for industry, academics and government sectors. For instance.

Scope in Bio-informatics : There is a great scope for Bioinformatics in India as there is a growing need for sophisticated, computerized approaches for compiling and analyzing the biological information generated by geneticists, microbiologists and other researchers.

IBM is giving away free Web services technology to help scientists to track down DNA in life sciences field. Other IT companies like TCS and Infosys have ventured in to this area.

"Bioinformatics as a career is very lucrative and has a great future. Typical qualifications would be Graduates and Doctorates. The salaries are benchmarked against industry standards and would be comparable with any other industry including IT.
