Industry Program in Cheminformatics
Distance Learning
Latest Update
Program Overview
The objective of Industry Program in Cheminformatics- Distance Learning program is to provide an intensive and up-to- date learning in the emerging area of Chemical sciences. The program provides a basic to advance level of expertise in Cheminformatics and its usage in the industry.
About Cheminformatics
The application of information technology in chemical sciences has become a critical part of the molecular modeling, drug designing, database designing. Cheminformatics is the mixing of those information resources to transform data into information and information into knowledge for the intended purpose of making better decisions faster in the area of drug lead identification and organization. In fact, Cheminformatics is a generic term that encompasses the design, creation, organization, management, retrieval, analysis, dissemination, visualization and use of chemical information.
Related terms of Cheminformatics are chemi-informatics, chemometrics, computational chemistry, chemical informatics, chemical information management/science, and Cheminformatics.
Program Ideology
