Biomedical Informatics Centre  (BIC) was established at the National Institute for Research in Reproductive  Health (NIRRH), which is a premier research institute of the Indian Council of  Medical Research (ICMR) in 2006.  
       The  center was created with an objective to initiate and promote computational  research in the realm of reproductive health. The centre is currently engaged  in construction of clinical databases, study of antimicrobial peptides and  research activities directed towards understanding the structure-function  relationships of certain protein molecules involved in human reproductive  health. The center works in close collaboration with various scientists to  provide computational support to experimental data. 
      As  part of education and outreach activities, the center regularly conducts  workshops and training programs in bioinformatics.  The center provides guidance to postgraduate students  for their research projects and offers Ph.D programme through its affiliation  with University of Mumbai.         |
