The Centre has
been recognized as a Centre of Excellence in structural
Biology and Biocomputing by the Department of Biotechnology,
Government of India. The Centre created in 1985 was one
of the earliest in the country to establish information
dissemination and formal teaching in bioinformatics. In
tune with the evolving nature of this discipline, there
has been a paradigm shift in the focus of the Centre’s
activities, directing the activities towards research
and development from that of information dissemination
as a primary objective. At present, the centre hosts several
important research programmes in the broad areas of structural
biology and bioinformatics, genome analysis and systems
biology. The current
Major research
activities: Genome Analysis, De-novo Design of Bio-molecules,
Structural Biology and Structural Bioinformatics, Algorithms
for protein structure analysis, Systems Biology- Biological
Networks & Pathway Modeling, Computational Immunology,
Modelling and dynamics of protein-ligand interactions,
protein folding by graph theoretical methods, Protein
Function Prediction, Drug-DNA interactions, Creation of
Value-added databases and Software Engineering.
