ABOUT OURSELVES
Global Institute of Biotechnology in its short span of existence for a
period of Three years has emerged as a premier Institute in the field
of Training and Research in Bioinformatics,Biotechnology and Other
Life Sciences.The Institute is equipped with the state of the art
laboratories in the above fields and is manned by suitably qualified
and experienced faculty.
In order to prepare the students to meet the needs of modern
Biotech,Pharma,and other Life Science Industries, the Institute has
recently added training and project work in SAS ( Statistics Analysis
Systems ) which has become a gold standard for analysis and management
of data in Clinical and Biological Research.
Similarly students of the Biotechnology course, wherein the emphasis
is on the wet lab experimentation, have been undergoing internship in
various biotech companies
The Institute proudly invites applications for Short/Long Term
Training Programmes and Research Projects as detailed below:
BIOINFORMATICS
During the past many years, the Genome of several organisms' including
manhave been completely or Partially sequenced. However these billions
of DNA bases do not tell us much about, what all these genes do what
is their exact role in the process of Development, growth, ageing and
disease. We know that ultimately proteins are coded by genes and
control life Processes. However elucidations of the functions of
proteins are not yet clear. This is where functional genomics,
proteomics and Bioinformatics is an amalgamation of the data in
biological sciences and tools of computing in information technology.
Bioinformatics uses computational power to catalogue, organize and
structure these complex databases and pieces them into meaningful
biological entities, to provide easy access to data on many
developments in the fields of Medical, Pharmaceutical, Agricultural,
Animal and Microbial Biotechnologies.
Computational tools have become increasingly important in processes
leading to new inventions in Biotechnology. Computer Aided Drug Design
(CADD) is a central part of the rational approach for Drug Discovery.
CADD is an inter disciplinary field, which includes computational
inputs from Chemistry, Biology, Pharmacology, Biotechnology,
Information Technology. Etc. This is an emerging field, with wide
range of applications. Various aspects of this field include Quantum
Chemistry, Molecular Mechanics, Molecular Docking, Quantitative
Structure Activity Relationship (3D QSAR), Conformational Analysis,
etc. A major component of CADD is Molecular Modeling and Screening of
the Substrate ligand interactions in silico.
Our endeavour is to crate a lively environment for the advancement of
Bioinformatics and to generate an innovative workforce in this
exciting and expanding field.

SAS FOR LIFE SCIENCES
SAS (Statistical Analysis Systems) is a software used for data
analysis by more than 40,000 customers worldwide. SAS provides many
solutions for life sciences including Optimization of the flow of
Scientific Data, Integration of molecular information with clinical
outcomes, Building a centralized, searchable repository of all
research information, Compliance with regulatory
requirements ,Assessment of safety and effectiveness of new therapies,
Management of Data from various sources like Electronic Data Captures
(EDC), In House Clinical Data Management System (CDMS) and Contract
Research Organizations (CROs),Generation of Presentation-Ready
Statistical Summaries of Clinical Trial and other Biomedical Research
Data.
The Data Analysis and Reporting Tools of SAS are already the Defacto
Standards among Pharma Companies and other Life Science
Industries.USFDA Cosiders SAS Validation as an important Component of
Quality Assurance, Reliability and Accuracy of Information for the
Approval of New Drugs.
This Course will mainly focus on Statistics, Quantitative analysis,
Research Design, and Data management, Data Analysis relating to Life
Sciences.
SAS is used in many fields, particularly in Medical Research and Drug
Development. SAS is best learned as part of a course or through
interactive lessons rather than through self-study. With SAS, we can
dramatically improve our data analysis capabilities and processes, of
ready-to-use statistical analysis procedures and rich, built-in
graphical functionality to reveal relationships and correlations. It
saves time and expenses associated with data manipulation.
This Course also introduces the concept of SAS in life sciences and
also covers Live Projects on Techno-Functional and Functional Modules.
This Course Aims at Creating Man Power in this Hi-Tech , ever growing
and much needed area, who can play a professional role at National and
International level. These Professionals can also enjoy an unique,
Challenging and Profitable Job Profiles.
