Question: >> What are the scope of bioinformatics in India?
Answer:
>> Bioinformatics in India has got a limited scope in a fragmented manner. Here in India we have a poor state of an approach towards the discipline thereby ending up with nothing but hype. Going forward it has to be streamlined in terms of research as well as a professional one. Many private sectors we do have in India portraying as Bioinformatics service providers, but end up in exercising some low end work like data mining and database development. One should be known with the fact that developing logical modules (algorithms/rule-based) and doing analytics on top of the existing raw data are the ones which requires bioinformatics skills and possess a global scope in the field of Life Sciences and Healthcare, to name a few.

>> In academics or research, bioinformaticians have lots of scope. Its other way round, academic institues are not getting good bioinformaticians so most of positions are vacate in lack of suitable candidates. Long time back we advertise post and also request on inbios group (inbios@yahoo.com) if anybody is interested in joining as scientist. Surprising no suitable candidate apply or post. Initially I thought we are not getting good bioinformaticians in Indian institutes due to low salary. Recently, I was involved in searching suitable bioinformatics person for USA university (UAMS ) and for my surprise we were not able to attract good bioinformaticians. jitendra
