Discover the Scope of Bioinformatics in India

"If I were a ... first-year graduate student interested in biology, I would migrate as fast as I could into
the field of computational biology." Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health
(NIH), USA, April 2012

If you thought computer programs and developing tools was for computer science students and
computer geeks alone, think again. Bioinformatics is an upcoming field of study that combines your love
for biology, computers and information technology and rolls it into a complex combination that enables
you to research and study life sciences together.
What is Bioinformatics?

According to Wikipedia, “Bioinformatics deals with algorithms, databases and information systems, web
technologies, artificial intelligence and soft computing, information and computation theory, software
engineering, data mining, image processing, modeling and simulation, signal processing, discrete
mathematics, control and system theory, circuit theory, and statistics. Bioinformatics generates new
knowledge as well as the computational tools to create that knowledge.” A rather long list of things,
isn’t it? and an exciting one at that.

Bioinformatics as a field of study gained popularity with the launch of the Human Genome Project. The
project sought to determine the sequence of the entire human genome and generated huge amounts of
data. Since then, more and more life science related data is being generated from ongoing sequencing
efforts, and computation lets researchers analyze this data to locate trends, mutations, diseases and the
like.

Bioinformatics has four specialized areas, and a student can choose to study and build a career in any
one of these. The four areas of bioinformatics include but not limited to

        Data acquisition – working with machines and equipment for data generation and procurement
        Data storage and indexing – in a database and then working with it
        Developing tools for data analysis and visualization – this is done through programming. Some
        of the software tools commonly used for programming are Java, XML, Perl, C, C++, Python, R,
        MySQL, SQL, CUDA, MATLAB, and Microsoft Excel
        Data analysis through statistical methods – to locate patterns

Two pressing aspects that need extensive attention in bioinformatics are the development and
implementation of quality tools that enable efficient access to life science data generated, and secondly,
development of new algorithms which facilitate study of large data sets, such as methods to locate a
gene within a sequence, predict protein structure, and more.


                                                                                                          1
Growing Scope of Bioinformatics in India

At just 2% of the biotechnology industry in India, the bioinformatics market is still the smallest segment.
However in FY 2010-11 it grew by 11.5% to reach US$ 58 Million, and this trend is expected to continue
for a while. Some of the areas of bioinformatics slated to grow are tracking of discovery activities, data
analysis, and pharmaceutical research.

As bioinformatics gains in popularity a growing number of educational institutions are offering courses
at bachelors and masters level, one can also access a research scholarship and do a doctorate in both
India and abroad. India also has a flourishing pharmaceutical industry and it is here that those with a
degree in bioinformatics get absorbed readily. Some of the areas where students of bioinformatics can
make a career are sequence assembly, sequence analysis, informatics development, database design
and maintenance, and the like.

For those looking for an exciting career in research that is highly innovative and dynamic, bioinformatics
is the areas to specialize in. As computing power increases, areas of bioinformatics that just a couple of
years ago seemed impossible to study are now possible. Newer techniques of study are adopted and
thus newer areas of study open up. So no matter what your areas of interest, plants, animals, bacteria,
fungi, virology, genetics, developing databases, writing code, statistics, engineering, computer
hardware, or web technologies, there is a world waiting to be discovered.

IBAB, the Right Educational Institution in India to Study Bioinformatics

As the number of institutions offering bioinformatics increase, choosing the right one to study in
becomes critical. Some of the things you need to look for in an institution is whether it is government
recognized, has quality and current curriculum, if the institution’s faculty is well qualified, whether the
institution has good library facilities and its overall passion to promote bioinformatics as a field of study.

The Institute of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology (IBAB) was set up in 2002, by the Department of IT
and BT, Government of Karnataka, in association with ICICI Bank. The institute is based in Bangalore and
offers an MSc in Bioinformatics and Biotechnology, and numerous short term summer courses. The
institute recruits students through an all India entrance examination, and has MoUs with a number of
institutions around the world. As a result IBAB’s campus is a rich milieu of students coming in from a
variety of backgrounds and experiences. The institution also has excellent facilities in terms of faculty,
library, auditoriums, 24 / 7 high speed internet and hostel accommodation for boys and girls.
