Bioinformatics at IILM

                  BIOINFORMATICS 

Bioinformatics is a broad multidisciplinary field that combines biology, computer science, statistics and mathematics to analyze and interpret biological data, particularly DNA, RNA and proteins. This branch mainly analyses biological data and develop new software using biological tools. It is mainly used to extract knowledge from biological data through the development of algorithms and software.

Bioinformatics has broad applications including genome sequencing, gene expression analysis, protein structure prediction, drug discovery, personalized medicines, etc. A significant application of bioinformatics can be found in the fields of precision and preventive drug which are mainly focused on developing measures to prevent, control and cure dreadful infectious diseases. 

IILM University, Greater Noida, offers a bachelor of technology (B.Tech) in bioinformatics as an undergraduate program of 4-year that involves the application of computational methods to analyze biological data. It also offers specialization in artificial intelligence and machine learning. The curriculum includes biology, chemistry, computer science, maths, statistics and bioinformatics courses. The curriculum is industry based aiming to prepare the students ready to work in industry after 4 years. 

Bioinformatics is a broad field covering subfields and applications which include:-

•Genomics:- the study of complete genetic material or genome using bioinfomatics tools to annotate, analyze through sequencing technologies. 

•Transcriptomics:- it is the study of gene expression of mRNA that transcripts in a cell or tissue . Tools are used to analyze large scale data to identify differentially expressed gene pathways.

•Proteomics:- study of proteins involving their structure, function and interactions. It is used to analyze the function and structure with different types of interactions.

•Metabolomics :- it is the study of small molecules or metabolites that are produced by cells or tissues. Tools are used to identify metabolic pathways of diseases.

•Personalized medicines:- bioinformatics tools and technologies help analyze genetic variation which help scientists to develop a treatment for patients.

•Environmental biotechnology:-  bioinformatics aid in studying microbial communities in an environment which helps to monitor and control environmental pollution.

•Computational biology:- bioinformatics is extremely helpful in finding out fundamental principles of biosciences, gene regulation , function , and expression.

Much more variety of applications is seen under bioinformatics.

Career scope in bioinformatics:

Career opportunities include positions in pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, govt agencies. Graduates can work as bioinformatics analysts, data scientists, software developers ,research scientists, bioinformatics consultants, drug research scientist, agricultural bioinformatics scientist, bioinformatics engineer, computational biologists, individual contributors as well as educators and work in academic institutes.

Hence, B.tech in bioinformatics develops a strong foundation in both biology and computer science making them apply computational methods to biological problems to make contributions to the field of bioinformatics.

COMMUNISM VS. CAPITALISM: A COMPARISION OF IDEOLOGIES

  COMMUNISM VS. CAPITALISM: A COMPARISON OF IDEOLOGIES The ideologies of communism and capitalism have shaped world politics, economies and societies for over a century, influencing everything from governance systems to cultural attitudes. Each system presents a unique approach to economic management, property rights, wealth distribution, and the role of government, and both have garnered passionate supporters and critics alike. Here’s a deeper look into the core principles, strengths, and criticisms of communism and capitalism, and how each shapes the societies that adopt them. 1. Core Ideals and Principles • Communism : Communism is based on the idea of creating a classless, stateless society where resources are shared equitably among all citizens. The central tenet of communism, as developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, is that wealth and resources should be owned collectively by the people, eliminating private ownership of major industries and resources. Communism seeks ...

THE RISE OF REMOTE WORK: A NEW WAY OF WORKING

  THE RISE OF REMOTE WORK: A NEW WAY OF WORKING Remote work has gone from being a rare perk to a fundamental shift in how we work. With technology making it easier to stay connected and the pandemic accelerating its adoption, working from home has become the norm for many. It has reshaped the traditional office setup, bringing a mix of benefits and challenges. Why Remote Work is a Game Changer 1. Getting More Done One of the biggest perks of working remotely is increased productivity. Without long commutes, constant office chatter, and unnecessary meetings, many people find they can get more done in less time. Studies back this up—remote workers often perform better than their office-based counterparts. 2. A Better Work-Life Balance Having the freedom to set your schedule means you can take care of personal tasks, spend time with family, or even fit in a midday workout. This flexibility reduces stress and leads to greater job satisfaction. 3. Saving Money Both companies and employe...
