MS Bioinformatics

Master of Science by Research in Bioinformatic

MS Bioinformatics or Master of Science in Bioinformatics is a postgraduate Bioinformatics course. Bioinformatics is the application of statistics and computer science to the field of molecular biology. The Bioinformatics program provides competence in computational biology/bioinformatics by providing training in the areas of molecular biology, information technology, statistics, and bioinformatics.

The Bioinformatics programme provides hands-on experience in the core fields of genomics, proteomics, protein engineering, metabolic pathway engineering, Pharmacogenomics, the discovery of new drugs and vaccines, molecular diagnostic kits, and Agro-biotechnology. The Master of Science degree programme in Bioinformatics lasts two years and is divided into four semesters.
