The extensive increase in life-science research data offers a variety of wonderful opportunities for the skilled scientific workforce, especially in the field of bioinformatics. Most of the life-science degree programs rarely taught the basics of bioinformatics hands-on. With this in focus, to fill the skill gap in the field of bioinformatics, the Department of Biotechnology, MMK and SDM College for Women, Mysuru in association with Global Association of Scientific Young Minds, Mysuru on March 19, 2019 has organized a one-day skill development workshop on Basics of Bioinformatics.

26 students from III Bt.B.M were benefited by the event and given very satisfactory feedback.
