The Param Hansa Centre for Computational Oncology (PHCCO) at IISc Bengaluru fosters research in predictive and quantitative mathematical models of cancer progression, metastasis, and tumour relapse, to identify the underlying fundamental dynamics of these multi-scale processes, and eventually to improve patient outcomes in the clinic. It aims to seed and nurture an active community of future leaders in computational oncology in India through inter-institutional, cross-disciplinary collaborations among researchers in academia, medicine, and industry.
The Institute for Bioinformatics and Applied Biotechnology (IBAB) - an initiative of the Department of IT, BT, and ST, Government of Karnataka - focuses on education, research and entrepreneurship in the area of bioinformatics and biotechnology. Besides an active interdisciplinary Ph.D. program, it offers two distinctive two-year MSc programs in Bioinformatics and Biotechnology, and in 'Big Data Biology'.
