Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary course and it is one of the most in demand course in India and abroad.

There are no colleges in Patna which offer UG course in Bioinformatics but there are a couple of colleges which offer PG courses in Bioinformatics.

1) Patna university: PG diploma in Bioinformatics

2) Central University of South Bihar: MSC in Bioinformatics

There are few colleges in India which offer Bachelors in bioinformatics which you can surely look at:

1) Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala

2) DY Patel University, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra

3)  Annamalai University, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu

The admission to these universities is one the basis of entrance exams like GATE.

In terms of scholarship, you can get university specific scholarship.

Hello Student

According to me in the situation of corona pandemic you have to study in MS specialisation Genetic immunology, pathology, Virology, vaccine biology, bioinformatics, drug design development, cancer biology, genetics, recombinant DNA, stem cell biology.

This will help.

Hello, Aspirant.

Below are the top colleges for admission in Bioinformatics Scope:

• D.Y. Patil Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Institute, Pune

• V.M. KirupanandaVariyar Engineering College, Salem

• Shobit University, Meerut

• Amity University, Jaipur

• Sastra University, Thanjavur

• Amity University, Noida

• Amity University, Lucknow

Hope this helps!

Hello aspirant,

I hope you are doing well and good.

Both the fields of MSc biotechnology and bioinformatics are equally from job and earning prospective. Both thr courses has equal opportunities and have their priorities , i will suggest you to go for that field in which you are interested.

Goodluck!!!!!!

Hello Candidate

A bioinformatics software developer works on the development of the existing software and the tools related to it. The developer is expected to have analytical skills as well as good communication skills. They must be creative in their work to be able to create new tools and new algorithms. Initially, the software developer needs to have good knowledge of essential hard skills such as SQL and Python. Companies that are responsible for building computational tools mainly hire a bioinformatics software developer as well.

To become a software developer of bioinformatics, one needs to have good knowledge in the field of biology and computer science. Individuals with a bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree in bioinformatics, biostatistics, biology, and computer science can opt for such an option.

Hope this helped you,

Hello Candidate

BIO INFORMATICIANS helps making the drug discovery stages easy which inturn helps the diseased people to get the right medication at the reasonable cost with less side effects

you can find a career in pharmacogenomics which is a combination of the science of drugs as well as the study of genes. It mainly studies the response of drugs applied to an individual while the genes are causing an impact. For instance, very recently, pharmacogenomics has been used in the case of HIV patients. The patient’s genetic variations are tested and kept under observation to check the impact of the genes on their drug response.

Both bioinformatics and pharmacogenomics are related to each other. They both help in reducing the cost borne by pharmaceutical companies through their studies and research outcomes. The bioinformatician provides the required software tools and database, which are used in pharmacogenomics to design and develop drugs and develop processes related to them. Hence, an expert in bioinformatics can further study and work on pharmacogenomics. There are degree courses on pharmacogenomics and drug development available in many colleges in India.

hope this helped you.

GOOD LUCK!!

Hello,

Firstly,  both the courses are equally good,  but it depends upon your area of interest.  Like in which field you are interested the most,  first search out your area of interest then check out and research about that field, check out in which field you will get the highest salary job offers.
