Bioinformatics, one of the most sought- after courses, offers lucrative jobs. However, entering the field is not as simple as it might appear.
In the heydays of software boom , a person armed with a mere diploma in computer programming could land lucrative jobs. The same is not true with the emerging field of bio-informatics where an entry-level position requires more expertise.
Strongest demand mainly exists for individuals with degree in the life sciences and computer sciences, and multiple years of programming and database development experience. Typical combinations include a PhD in molecular biology, or biochemistry and B.S. in computer science.
Also, person with a PhD in Life Science and with largely self-taught key computer skills and an industry experience too find good jobs.
Freshers who have completed their doctoral programmes in bioinformatics have tremendous opportunities

Admission
Entry into specific institutions depends upon the universities and colleges. Almost all institution conduct an entrance test
Cheminformatics
Chemisformatics the combination of chemical synthesis, biological screening and data-mining approaches used to guide drug discovery and development, will be the most sought after science in coming future. The integration of cheminformatics with related disciplines such as genomics, proteomics and the application of these sciences are the most sought-after careers across the globe
The institute of Cheminformatics studies offers different levels in chemiinformatics. Address: B-15,Sector-3,Noida-201301, U.P.
