PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The 'Genome' of an organism contains the essential information require to reconstruct and regulate life. With the advancement in technology, researchers are able to resolve the hidden genetic information present as a sequence of code. With Automated sequencing technology, huge amount of genomic data is being generated daily and analyzing this data is essential to understand the principles of life for the benefit of human race. Bioinformatics provides the platform to study various aspects of life science using information technology. This workshop focuses on the tools and techniques that are being used to decipher and analyze biological sequences and genomes of organisms. The workshop will feature morning lectures, demonstrations with evening hands-on session in Bioinformatics lab.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The participants of the course may be students, research scholars, faculty and industry personnel with background in Life Sciences and/or Information Technology. The workshop is selfcontained and does not assume any special knowledge of the subject.

TEACHING FACULTY

Besides BISR faculty, eminent guest speakers from renowned Bioinformatics Centres of India will deliver lectures and conduct demonstration on various aspects on Bioinformatics.
