Overview
The Center for Bioinformatics at Vision Research Foundation, Sankara Nethralaya has been established with a purpose.
| |
To conduct basic research in bioinformatics and to cater to the needs of investigators from Vision Research Foundation by providing state-of-the-art infra-structure (bioinformatics services and tools - hardware, software and expertise) and forge strong interdisciplinary collaborations. |
| |
To develop the capacity for leadership in applying modern bioinformatics tools to the study and treatment of ocular diseases and make the facility as a hub for ophthalmic investigators all over India. |
| |
To develop core competencies, analytical and informatics tools and methodologies for the acquisition, storage, analysis, interpretation and integration of staggering amounts of biomedical data, generated from genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolmic studies, using high performance computational systems with the ultimate goal of elucidating differences between health and disease. |
| |
To provide personalized training and enhance the skills of ophthalmic investigators in bioinformatics. |
| |
To conduct workshops, training programs and seminars for ophthalmic researchers and investigators from other disciplines of biology on the potential application of bioinformatics tools in modern biology. |
