We are
specialized in

Genomics

Genomics is defined as the branch of molecular biology that deals with the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genomes. Genomics uses DNA sequencing methods, and bioinformatics to sequence, assemble, and analyze the structure and function of genomes. Specialists in genomics strive to determine complete DNA sequences and perform genetic mapping to help understand disease. Genomics also involves the study of intragenic processes such as epistasis, heterosis, and pleiotropy as well as the interactions between loci and alleles within the genome.

proteomics & analytical biology

Detailed understanding of molecular biology in present day vastly relies on Bioinformatics which includes genomics and proteomics, has contributed to advances in biology by providing tools that handle datasets too large or complex for manual analysis. Examples of some of these tools include assembling of the DNA sequence of entire genomes, gene finding algorithms, microarray expression analysis, molecular system modelling and biomarker discovery from mass spectrum.

We visited Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and I was glad to meet Dr. William Moss, Dr. David Peters, Dean Ellen MacKenzie, Prof. Mathuram Santosham and their Graduate Programme Administrative team. We met Provost Sunil Kumar and we all discussed collaborative relations with JHSPH to develop I3T and its academic & research programs. Prof. Mathuram Santosham was instrumental in arranging all the meetings and ensuing all the programs in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Dec 31, 2019

On Dec 31, 2019, I agreed on a proposed MOU with Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health and made the first instalment of this special purpose gift to JHU towards the development of the academic and research programmes at I3T.
