For scientific community, the need to decode and interpret the information entrenched in the human as well as other genome are growing every day because of the innovations in Bioinformatics and Biotechnology. It is envisioned that the programs offered in the Department will develop Bioinformatics and Biotechnology professionals with interdisciplinary approaches to explore different areas of life sciences with the help of state-of-art technologies being applied around the globe.Introduction and promotion of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology in the country as emerging sciences is one of the primary objectives of the Department. Department of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology (BNB) provides interdisciplinary learning and training that bridges the Departments and seamlessly integrates computational methodologies into biological education on the following
lines:

A broad understanding of the molecular processes of life.Understanding of the tools used for mapping and sequencing genes/genomics. Training of DNA and protein sequence and structural analysis, gene expression and proteomics analysis, data mining, optimization and statistical methods, database development and algorithm design. A high level of skill in designing and usage of information techniques with emphasis on the organization, display, interpretation and analysis of complex data. Skill development and hands on training of basic and advanced laboratory techniques being utilized in the modern world.

Bioinformatics and Biotechnology is expected to substantially create
an impact on scientific, engineering and economic development of the world. These are fast growing important disciplines for academic research and industrial applications.
