The Department of Biotechnology (Govt. of India) sponsored Bioinformatics Infrastructure Facility at Bodoland University was sanctioned on 30.04.2015. The facility came into working on 24th September, 2015. As the mandate of the BIF is “Biology teaching through Bioinformatics” hence the center put more stress on Teaching-Learning and Research by conducting basic and advanced training programs for different category of learners.
In today´s" era of omics- Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics the application of data analysis using bioinformatics has become a basic necessity for scientific community and in this context the center imparts hands-on training on various tools & resources for data driven computational analysis. During the period of 2015 to 2022, the center has organized more than 20 nos. of workshops on different topics of Bioinformatics for the M. Sc. students of Botany, Biotechnology and Zoology; M. Phil. and Ph. D. students of Life Science subjects and College and University teachers of Bodoland University and Gauhati University.
The Center is catering the need for laboratory facility of Bioinformatics theory and practical classes for the Departments of Biotechnology, Botany and Zoology of the University. Further; the facility is utilized by the fourth semester M. Sc. students of the Department of Biotechnology for pursuing of Computational Biology special paper. The BIF offers six months traineeships and studentships respectively to post M. Sc. and M. Sc. pursuing students of Life Sciences. In research front, the center is working on different Proteomics platform for drug discovery towards Haemoglobinopathy and Enzymopathy with data generated by molecular diagnostic labs on the diseases of the Department.
