General Information about the Lab
The Computational Biology Laboratory is involved in practical teaching and training in courses related to Structural Biology, Computational Biology, Genomics and Proteomics. Students learn and use a range of computational techniques in Sequence/Structural Bioinformatics, Modeling/simulation of Biomolecular interactions, Drug target selection, Drug design, Network Biology as well as Computational Genomics and proteomics.
The research focus is on Cardiovascular disease in humans as well as Stress response in bacteria. The long term goal includes study of molecular mechanisms of disease, selection of drug targets, drug design and repurposing. The laboratory has attracted external funding for research projects and scholars.

Facilities available (software, hardware)
The laboratory is equipped with computers, workstation and internet facility. Commercial SybylX software is available. Additional open source softwares like Cytoscape, Autodock, Deepview, Splitstree, Gromacs, Amber are also used.
