B.Sc Artificial Intelligence and Computational Biology Hons with Research at SSSIHL Prasanthi Nilayam Offline Course

For men only

We are at the cusp of a revolution where the intersection of Artificial intelligence (the development of computer systems that can perform tasks requiring human-like intelligence) and Computational Biology (the use of data analysis, mathematical modeling and computational simulations to understand biological systems and relationships) will positively impact our life as human beings in several areas, such as Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, Data science, Bioinformatics, AI research and development, Environmental studies and Forensics. This innovative programme is designed to build core competencies in the areas of biological sciences, computer sciences and data sciences. This will allow students to seamlessly operate across the frontier areas of Artificial intelligence (AI), Computational Biology and Data Science and apply them to solve biological problems. In the first year, the students will be trained in the fundamentals of Mathematics, Computer Programming and Modern Biology. In Year 2, they will be introduced to Statistics and AI. In Year 3, the focus will be on learning the applications of Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, AI and Machine Learning followed by training on the skills required to undertake research projects. In Year 4, the research project (under the joint supervision of faculty across disciplines) will give students an opportunity to apply AI, Computational Biology and Data sciences to develop potential solutions to real-world challenges in the field of biomedical sciences. As graduates of this programme, students will have several career options across these multiple disciplines. They can also pursue research in diverse areas ranging from biological algorithm development to structural analysis of biological entities, genomic diversity studies, comparative genomics, genomic engineering, molecular medicine design, and MultiOmic* data studies.

For students who secure a CGPA of 7.5 or more after the first six semesters (3 years of study) and opt to pursue research
