Workshop on ‘Bioinformatics: Gateway to Omics Era’
Workshop on ‘Bioinformatics: Gateway to Omics Era’ was organized by the Department of Microbiology, DIBNS, wherein the students of Biotechnology, Microbiology, Pharmachemistry, and Chemistry learned the insights and scope of this new-age subject that offers excellent job opportunities in academics, pharmaceutical industries, and R & D organizations. The resource person of the workshop was Mr. Abhinay Kumar Yadav, Founder, and CEO, of Next Generation Scientist. In his lecture, he introduced the students to the subject, explained the ‘omics’ (genomics, proteomics, pharmacogenomics, etc.), and informed them about this upcoming field’s career opportunities. Participants learned many bioinformatics tools in practical sessions, installed them on their desktops/laptops, and used them to do practical exercises, such as the structure of cobra venom protein. The session came to a close with an award ceremony in which the participants received certificates.
