| Answer: Bioinformatics: is the science and technology about learning, managing and processing biological information. It involves the application of computer technology for analysis and management of biological data. The computers are used to collect, analyze, store and merge the biological data. The aim of bioinformatics is to collect the wealth of biological information and use it to improve the living standards of human beings. Bioinformatics is applied in various fields like human health, environment, agriculture, biotechnology and energy to advance the biomedical research and development. It is used in the field of molecular medicine to produce the customized medicines for the prevention or cure of the disease.
Bioinformatics is today rapidly growing field all over the world. Therefore one can start a career in Bioinformatics and find employment opportunities in biotechnology , biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences, in industries, hospitals and research institutions.
Postgraduation Courses like M.Sc/M.E/M.Tech/MPhil (Bioinformatics) are available in different universities. If you want to pursue a managerial job then the subject specific management degree is not offered as yet. So you can't do MBA in bioinformatics.
All the best
