Education, Research and Entrepreneurship in Bioinformatics and Biotechnology
IBAB is a 'Centre of Excellence for Research and Training in Bioinformatics' of the Department of Electronics & Information Technology, Government of India.
IBAB is now
in its own 20 acre campus in Electronics City with excellent
infrastructure, students' hostel and other amenities. It has recently
added several state of the art facilities to its bioinformatics and
biotechnology laboratories to enhance its training and research
capabilities. IBAB also hosts GANIT Labs, a multi
institutional partnership under the aegis of
Department of Information Technology, Government of India, and
Department of IT, BT and ST, Government of Karnataka, that works in the
area of genome sequencing and data analysis. The
institute runs an MSc in Bioinformatics and Applied Biotechnology (degree
awarded by University of Mysore, Mysore) and a Ph.D. program (degree awarded by Manipal
University).
IBAB has
world class faculty trained from top-notch institutions with
significant teaching and research experience. Students are exposed
to the most recent advances in the biotech industry and academic
research through the large number of scientists who visit IBAB all year
around from across the globe. The combination of teaching capacities,
exposure to current research, focus on self-learning capacities,
personality development and modern facilities have helped IBAB to
be among the very few Indian institutes which have achieved 100%
placement record in the lifesciences' sector.
