The department has the well-equipped lab consisting of latest IBM machines loaded which complete Bioinformatics Workbench are coupled with high speed Broad band connections, enabling effective use of biological software for research purposes. This programme develops the computational and analytical understanding necessary as a platform for processing biological data. The course also demonstrates applications and worked examples in the fields of Bioinformatics and System Biology, integrating with student involvement through project work. Job prospects are available in all sectors of Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical, Biomedical-Science Industries, Hospitals and IT- Companies. Employment prospects are excellent and appear to be relatively independent of economic conditions.
