Bioinformatics Alagappa University

Overview

Key Features

The curriculum designed is to assist the students in understanding the vital concept of fundamentals involved in the structure determination through various Molecular Biology, Biochemical and Cell Biology experimental methods with practical hands-on training in the usage of Bioinformatics tools for Drug Discovery.

At the end of the Bioinformatics program at Alagappa University, the student will gain in-depth knowledge in Bioinformatics and play an active role in biological research, government or non-government organization, and private sectors.

Program objectives

• To train the students in various Molecular Biology experimental methods that aids the students to perform related Structural Biology techniques (Cloning, Expression, Purification & Crystallization) to isolate the protein of interest skillfully through laboratory practical.
• To emphasize on the flexibility of the state of the art technologies available especially in the area of Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) and provide lab training to know how to manage the generated Biological data.
• To address the challenges arising from the huge amount of genomic data and to overcome by analyzing and individualizing the corresponding drug responses towards appropriate drug specified dosages.
• To create user-friendly tools and databases with the help of programming languages and algorithms. Additionally, two journal clubs in a month/ annual national conference/ weekly career guidance(s) are conducted that would help them know about the recent advances in the subject and also develop their knowledge accordingly.
