National Level Internship Programme on Tools and Techniques in Applied Bioinformatics | 19th July - 2nd August 2021

15 Days National Level Internship  Programme on

" Tools and Techniques in Applied Bioinformatics"

 About the Interenship Program in NEW COLLEGE  with BIOCURATION

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that develops methods and software tools for understanding biological data. The key areas of bioinformatics include biological databases, sequence alignment, gene and promoter prediction, molecular phylogenetics, structural bioinformatics, genomics, and proteomics.

Bioinformatics plays a vital role in the areas of structural genomics, functional genomics, and nutritional genomics.  It covers emerging scientific research and the exploration of proteomes from the overall level of intracellular protein composition, protein structure, protein-protein interaction, and unique activity patterns. It is used to identify and structurally modify a natural product, to design a compound with the desired properties and to assess its therapeutic effects, theoretically. The analysis also includes searching, clustering, QSAR modeling, virtual screening, etc. It plays an increasingly important role in almost all aspects of drug discovery and drug development. The tools are very effective in prediction, analysis and interpretation of clinical and preclinical findings.

In connection with above mentioned significant features of In silico studies, P. G. Department of Botany, The New College (Autonomous), Chennai 600 014 in association with Biocuration, Bengaluru (A renowned resource institution to the related field) has planned to organize a 15 days National Level Internship Programme on “Tools and Techniques in Applied Bioinformatics”.

The programme is open for students of all life science streams that makes up the students with Botany, Zoology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Bioinformatics as their major subjects from various Institutions throughout India. The programme will open a gate to the students about the utilization of In silico tools in Life Sciences field.

Benefits In Learning Bioinformatics Key Skills

Generally, a bioinformatics specialist is responsible for managing and analysing large sets of genomic data. The setting where that data analysis takes place can vary quite a bit, however.

In the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Industries, work typically involves exploring the human genome to detect how drugs may impact certain proteins within the body’s cells. Work often happens in a laboratory setting.

In Botany and Zoology, the analysis focuses on animal and plant genomes and terrestrial data such as elevation and water availability, with an overall focus on environmental health and conservation. Professionals may work in a lab or out in the field.

In academia, bioinformatics careers are related to experiments that may not have an immediate commercial benefit but could be used to drive future investigations in medical or biological research.
