Why A Bioinformatics Training Program?

It is not an exaggeration that in the near future Bioinformatics may well have the potential to limit wet lab experiments and enhance the speed of generation of fresh information giving a new direction to the advancement of biological science.

Applied Bioinformatics can help in developing and implementing research ideas for research in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Microbiology and other disciplines of Life Sciences. Therefore it becomes imperative for anyone and everyone who wants to make a career in Biotechnology research and Industry to understand and apply Bioinformatics in his research initiative.

Bioinformatics as a Standalone Research field is also very interesting and rewarding. It involves integrative or multidisciplinary approach that is inclusive, but not exclusive of computational, mathematical and statistical methods to study, organize, analyze and interpret biological information, at the molecular, genetic and genomic levels. With the diversity required for the subject, it has become imperative that students with different backgrounds should come together to acquire practical knowledge and skills in these areas. To conclude one can say that Bioinformatics Training is important and indispensable not only for Bioinformaticians but also for all the researchers in the Life Sciences arena.
