पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This programme is designed to provide students a solid foundation in chemistry, biochemistry and chemical biology. It also inculcates students with basic skills and know-how in translational research such as related to drug discovery. Chemical biology is rapidly establishing itself as an important interdisciplinary field in which chemical methods are used to study problems in biology and biomolecular medicine. In turn, molecular biology is providing a growing number of tools and enzymatic reagents to the organic chemist. This cross-discipline approach brings biotechnology to a new dimension not possible previously. Research carried out at this Division helps develop a broad appreciation of the interplay between chemistry and biology. Rapid advances in technology in recent years have allowed us to work on entire biological systems, thereby providing a more complete picture of how they function. For example, it is now possible to understand context-dependent changes in protein expression, or even describe the complex pattern of protein interactions in a cell. Techniques like large-scale 2D-electrophoretic analysis provide a snapshot of the nature of the thousands of proteins expressed in a cell. This integrated field of proteomics will gather the different methodologies and facilities necessary for the study of genomes both at the computational and experimental level and these tools may be used to develop protein chips and specific drugs that have useful industrial and biomedical applications. Opportunities will be available for students to pursue their research in academic or industrial settings.
