About US
| The Supercomputing Facility for Bioinformatics & Computational Biology (SCFBio), IIT Delhi, was created in July 2002, with funding from the Department of Biotechnology, Department of Science & Technology, Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, and Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. Under the guidance of Principal Investigator: Prof. B. Jayaram with the vision (i) To establish a nodal facility for supercomputing, accessible to the Bioinformatics community (ii)To develop novel scientific methods and new software for genome analysis, ab initio protein structure prediction and active site directed drug design The facility is working on all major aspects of Bioinformatics viz. Genome Analysis, Protein Structure Prediction and Drug design. |
