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 laboratory has attracted external funding for research projects and scholars. The laboratory is equipped with computers, workstation and internet facilities. Commercial SybylX software is available. Additional open-source software like Cytoscape, Autodock, Deepview, Splitstree, Gromacs, and Amber are also used.
