School of Computational and
Integrative Sciences (SC&IS) presently consists of
three centers, namely, Centre for Computational Biology
and Bioinformatics (CCBB), High Performance Computing
Center (HPCF) and Centre for Complex Systems Study ( approved
by the UGC in XIth plan during 2008-09 along with five
faculty positions). At present ten faculty members are
working in our school and four faculty positions are advertized
for recruitment in 2010. Two faculty members name Dr Rashi
Gupta and Kushal Shah are working in COE-DBT in Bioinformatics
at JNU.Taking note of this trend BIC-JNU was renamed its
centre as Centre for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
(CCBB). |
Our main objective
of human resource development activities and research
in frontier areas of computational biology has taken a
shape and recognition within the country. We are also
making concrete effort in inter–institutional collaboration
in research projects. To keep pace with the development
in the field, impetus is given to set up the necessary
infrastructure and resources for the academic community.
A major characteristic of SC&IS is its emphasis on
inter-disciplinary research like Computational Genomics,
Development of Tools for Bioinformatics, Structure based
Bioinformatics and in silico Drug Discovery, Chemoinformatics,
Database Management, Microarray Analysis and Datamining,
Systems biology and Evolutionary biology.
Major Project and field or research in Tuberculosis, Dengue,
Malaria like diseases using proteomics, genomics and 'in silico'
research.
After 5 years of conducting BINC examination by University
of Pune, recently in 2010, JNU, New Delhi has been identified
as a nodal agency by the Department of Biotechnology,
Govt. of India to coordinate this examination. BINC 2011
examination will be held from Feb 26th -27th 2011 along
with six centres namely, Pune University, Pune; Anna University,
Chennai; West Bengal University of Technology, Kolkata;
Institute of Bioinformatics & Applied Biotechnology,
Bangalore; North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong and
University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad.
