Overview
The postgraduate course in Bioinformatics from Bharathiar University commenced in Bharathiar University during 2001 for the first time in India. An interdisciplinary area at the intersection of biological, computer and information sciences necessary to manage, process and understand large amounts of data, for instance from the sequencing of the human genome, or from large databases containing information about plants and animals for use in discovering and developing new drugs.
The Postgraduate students passed out from the department were easily absorbed in various research Institutions not only in India but also in Foreign Countries. Few of our students are pursuing their Doctoral programs in the countries US, UK, Germany, South Korea and Singapore.
