BIOINFORMATICS CENTRE

We at BIC aim to create a database of structures/models of molecular interactions that would include interactions between all biomolecules (proteins, peptides, DNA, RNA, metabolites, co-factors and drug like small molecules) and make use of software tools (both home-grown and those of collaborators - such as IMP (https://salilab.org/) to integrate experimental data into the modeled interactions 

We are working to make this a one stop knowledge base for biological interactions and the addition of top-down kinetic models of cell processes based on gene-protein interactions will help narrow focus on the most impactful targets. The combination of direct physical interactions with genetic interactions adds to the unique identity of our centre.
