| MS - Bioinformatics |
| |
Bioinformatics, a high technology field related to biological sciences and their solution by computational methods and techniques. Master of Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary and administered by department of Bioinformatics. The expansive nature of biological data can only be translated effectively into knowledge by the use of information technology, as has recently been demonstrated by solving some of the mysteries of gene sequence analysis and decoding the human genome. The purpose of MS Bioinformatics is to train the students with advanced analytical and research methods for better understanding of biological problems. The curriculum will provide the students with extensive skills to solve biological problems in the area of Bioinformatics.
