Why These Courses ?

The call of technological expertise in both academic and industry sectors of health science can only be ever-increasing. There is a continuous need for biotechnological developments, especially for direct medical applications. Simultaneously, the advent of newer technologies asks for powerful bioinformatic solutions on how to extract, tackle, analyze and visualize the biologically meaningful data for subsequent research and industrial applications. This scenario puts qualified bioinformatics professionals, especially the ones with expertise in analyzing medical biotechnology data, in high demand for top-salary jobs worldwide.

“The Masters program in Medical Biotechnology and Bioinformatics will make the students ready to contribute their knowledge and skills towards the development of molecular diagnostic devices, drugs, vaccines, procedures and systems to solve the health problems and improve the quality of lives.”

Sampa Pal, PhD, Senior Scientific Program Officer, Diagnostic, PATH, USA
