Dr. Sapna Negi

   I am very interested to know about your Instiutute and the course on BioInfomatics.

  A Question:  For those for whom it is not possible to physically attend the course, is it possible to get the learning materials ?   If so,  what would the approximate cost be ?

  A related question-- Any possibility of a Correspondence course ? 

  I would be also interested in knowing what areas of research are being pursued in your Institute.

Thanks.

K. Raman
