IIUI mission is to transform the society by promoting education, training, research, technology, and collaboration for reconstruction of human thought in all its forms on the foundations of Islam.
Molecular Genetics is a rapidly evolving field where research in biotechnology has resulted in unraveling the mysteries of life and opened the door to a new breed of applications. Bioinformatics, a knowledge-based discipline, attempts to make predictions about biological functions using data from DNA sequence analysis, has now blossomed into a major academic discipline, combining the principles and concepts of computer science, information and biotechnologies. This curriculum is designed to produce a new class of scientists, possessing both the essential biological knowledge as well as computational expertise required to solve the complex life sciences problems.
Aims & Objectives
The overarching aim of developing and launching this program is to develop human resource in the discipline of Bioinformatics to achieve sustainable development through appropriate education and training.
Teaching Objectives
To provide knowledge on development and application of computer software tools of bioinformatics.
To impart skills for development and usage of tools of Bioinformatics.
To develop students for generating, analyzing and interpreting biological data through computational methods.
