- Information technology applied to the science of biotechnology has resulted in the specialized tools, technologies and systems known as Bio-Informatics. It is essential to the support of clinical and biomedical research, which is the field of bioinformatics.
Scientific advances in drug discovery research, in related fields like molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, chemistry and Pharmacogenomics (The study of how an individual's genetic inheritance affects the body's response to drugs), yield vast amounts of data. It is Bio-IT that enables the researcher to:
Organise, analyse and interpret the data
Handle bioprocessing systematically
Shorten product and process lifecycles
Make sense of the complex interaction between variables
Derive logical conclusions and actionable results within shorter time-frames
