What is the scope of Bioinformatics in India?

Hi Sakshi, Bioinformatics is defined broadly as the study of the inherent structure of biological information. Medical centers are also increasingly hiring bioinformatics graduates as genomics data become important in medical research and clinical applications. # Bioinformatics Career Scope & Job prospects have become widespread after the merging of the information technology sector has taken place with that of molecular biology. Job prospects are in all sectors of biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and biomedical sciences, in research institutions, hospitals, and industry. # Bioinformatics have a bright future ! Bioinformatics is not only combination of Bio and Informatics but it also includes various fields like Drug Designing, Genomics, Proteomics, System Biology, Machine Learning, Advanced Algorithm for Bioinformatics, Structural Biology, Computational Biology and many more. # LPU Offers M.Sc.
