The Bioinformatics Centre of
Bose Institute, established in 1988 as one of the ten
nodal centres under the programme, BTIS of the Department
of Biotechnology, has been recognized in 2004 as a “Centre
of Excellence” in Bioinformatics to undertake research
in the following areas: modeling of proteins structures;
molecular interaction and docking; drug design; chromosomal
dynamics; stress biology of plants; functional genomics
and host-pathogen interactions. Major research activities:
The computational infrastructure developed at the Centre
has provided the impetus for thriving research activities
in bioinformatics and computational biology, as can be
seen from a large number of publications made over the
years and its recognition as the Centre of Excellence
in Bioinformatics by DBT in 2004 and various national
awards received by the staff and students working at the
Centre.
