Courtesy  Bioclues Applications are invited in prescribed pro forma for the following posts under the projects mentioned along with the post, detailed qualification and pay etc. of the posts are given below: Post 1 : Research Associate Project :  “Functional significance of Potyviral Hc-Pro interaction with host and vector factors” DST funded Indo-Spanish bilateral programme (PI- Dr. Shelly Praveen) No of post :  One Essential Qualification :  Ph.D. degree or M.Sc. with three years research experience in Biochemistry/Plant Pathology / Biotechnology or a related field. Job requirement :  Job requirement include study of the interaction of viral RNAi suppressor protein Hc-Pro and proteins involved in plants’ RNAi machinery with the overall goal to establish the host – viral interaction. Research will include Cloning, mutation work, protein and gene expression and bioinformatics analysis. Host-viral interaction studies include yeast two hybrid system, YFP and GFP ...

The Workshop Drug discovery is an expensive and time taking process and therefore new approaches based on chemoinformatics and bioinformatics are being adopted.The knowledge of the 3D structures of protein targets is now playing a major role at all stages of drug discovery. The distinct nature of biological and chemical information requires the integrated capabilities of both bioinformatics and chemo-informatics to decipher existing and hidden relationships. Bioinformatics and chemo-informatics have largely evolved independently from biology and chemistry. Cheminformatics is an inter-disciplinary subject of storage, processing and retrieval of chemical information. Bioinformatics and chemoinformatics have significantly assisted in lead optimization, fingerprinting, pharmacophore designing, target identification, QSAR and their application can lead to discovery of new molecules. Molecular modeling using 3D graphics and optimization techniques helps the scientists to understand how drug...
