| The mandate of ILS is to undertake
basic and translational research in frontier areas of
life sciences. The research interests of the faculty are
in three major areas: (a) Infectious Disease Biology,
(b) Gene Function and Regulation and (c) Translation Research
and Technology Development. In addition, new collaborations
with industry have been established to tap commercial
potential of laboratory science.
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary research
area that relies on computational and statistical methods
to solve biological problems. With the advancement of
high throughput technologies, biological experiments
now generate huge amount of data, ranging from genomic
sequences to gene expression profiles and to protein
structures. Considering the importance, our centre is
mainly involved in the functional genomics and proteomics
study of important microorganisms, genes and proteins.
