Doctor of Philosophy (PhD Bioinformatics)

Ph.D Bioinformatics - Students admitted to the program have to complete a course work followed by breadth and depth examinations apart from the thesis work.Bioinformatics is a branch of biological science which deals with the study of methods for storing, retrieving and analyzing biological data, such asnucleic acid (DNA/RNA) and protein sequence, structure, function, pathways and genetic interactions. It generates new knowledge that is useful in such fields as drug design and development of new software tools to create that knowledge. Bioinformatics also deals withalgorithms, databases and information systems, web technologies, artificial intelligence andsoft computing, information and computation theory, structural biology, software engineering, data mining, image processing, modeling and simulation, discrete mathematics, control and system theory, circuit theory, and statistics
