Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary science that analyses, understands and creates the model of life as an evolving information processing phenomenon for maximizing natural energy utilization. It uses the principles and models of mathematics, medical and pharmaceutical concepts, computer programmes and tools for understanding and analyzing biological processes, human diseases and indentifying new molecular targets for drug discovery.
The Bioinformatics department was incepted in IIIT-A as, two years full time regular M.Tech specialization programme in the year 2002. Since then the department is striving regularly to meet the latest advancement in Bioinformatics era.
