To promote research into the study of human and other genomes. Complete sequencing of the human genome was a crucial first step towards deciphering the complex network of genes and proteins. The Institute of Bioinformatics is using computational as well as experimental approaches to catalogue genes as well as proteins encoded by the human genome.

To disseminate curated information about human genes and proteins freely to the global scientific community by making scientific data accessible through the World Wide Web and through published articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

To investigate biomarkers in multifactorial diseases such as cancers, neurological and metabolic disorders using high throughput techniques such as Microarray and Mass Spectrometry.

To educate scientists from India and abroad in using the state-of-the-art tools and techniques for genomic and proteomic research. This includes inviting
