The objective of the Centre is to provide infrastructural
facility for utilization of Bioinformatics for understanding,
study and development of Life science and different branches
of Biological science. The target area for providing service
is the in-house as well as outside and guest students,
faculty and research scholars of Biological and allied
branches of science.
Along with the primary function of providing Bioinformatics
Infrastructure Facility, the center also holds periodical
workshop and training programmes for sensitization and
exposure to Bioinformatics tools and sites to interested
newcomers in the field as well as holding and organizing
advanced training schedules with interactive participation
