Bioinformatics Workshop for Genomic and Proteomic Analysis


About Karyashala

Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), a statutory body under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, initiatied ‘Accelerate Vigyan (AV) Scheme’ to provide a big push to high-end scientific research and prepare scientific manpower which can venture into research careers and knowledge-based economy. AV aims to expand the research base in the country, with three broad goals-consolidation/ aggregation of all scientific training programs, initiating high-end orientation workshops, and creating opportunities for research internships. Under AV scheme, is an attempt to boost Research & Development in the country by enabling and grooming potential PG and Ph.D. level students by developing dedicated research skills in selected areas/ disciplines/fields through high-end orientation workshops 'KARYASHALA’. This will be especially important for those researchers who have limited opportunities to access such learning capacities/ facilities/infrastructure.

About the Program

The workshop is designed in such a way so that students/learner from different field can start from scratch and gain basic abilities to handle the genomic data sets. Students studying this workshop will be able to perform the data analysis using the bioinformatics tools that are freely available online as well the programs for big and complex data. They will be able to handle high throughput proteomic and genomic data.

Who can Attend

Karyashala is open to UG (4th Year), PG and Ph.D. students from Institutes, Colleges, and Universities in India. Applicants pursuing UG/PG/Ph.D. programmes in any specialization of life sciences and related departments are eligible. Students who have recently completed their PG programs are also eligible.
