🧬 Integrated Bioinformatics–Cheminformatics Approaches

Duration: 20 Hours | Mode: Online | Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Certification: E-Certificate on Completion
Language: English

🔍 Course Overview

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the integration of bioinformatics and cheminformatics, two powerful disciplines shaping the future of life sciences, drug discovery, and computational biology.

Students will explore how biological data (genes, proteins, pathways) and chemical data (molecular structures, drug interactions) can be combined to accelerate scientific discovery and decision-making in biotech, pharma, and academic research.

🎯 Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
✅ Understand the fundamentals of bioinformatics and cheminformatics
✅ Perform sequence analysis, structure prediction, and pathway mapping
✅ Analyze chemical databases and molecular descriptors
✅ Use integrated tools for virtual screening and drug-target interactions
✅ Apply knowledge in real-world drug discovery and research projects
