The Computational Omics lab headed by Dr. Pramod Katara, was established in 2013 as a part of the Centre of Bioinformatics of the University of Allahabad (http://www.allduniv.ac.in/) U.P., India.
The Centre of Bioinformatics was inaugurated in 2002. The Centre offers 4-semester (2 years) M.Sc. program in Bioinformatics. Master in Bioinformatics program is quite unique; it is rigorous with its credit-based courses covering latest areas in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Specifically beneficial to the students from both Mathematics and Biological sciences streams, it is aimed at transforming students into trained bioinformaticians with adequate theoretical and practical knowledge for investigating and addressing a number of key biological questions.
The Centre also offers Doctoral Program in the areas of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology that includes Biomedical Genomics, Computational Systems Biology, Computer Aided Drug Designing, Evolutionary Bioinformatics, Translational bioinformatics and Pharmacogenomics. The Centre has produced a large number of luminaries who are pursuing doctoral/postdoctoral research and placed at the reputed Universities/Institutions in India and abroad.
