Our major work is related to computational genomics, systems and network biology, Big Data solutions and high performance computing. We have reputation of being one of the pioneer labs in the area of next gen sequencing solutions in the country. A good amount of focus is given upon the algorithmic solutions and software development.

The Studio has currently following infrastructure:
  1. Two High Performance more than 250 cores and ~100 TB storage based cluster servers.
  2. Three high ends rack servers, 3 high end tower servers.
  3. Fleet of 10 high end workstations having Tesla K20/40 GPU processors and at least 16 cores, 100GB+ RAM.
  4. Seamless 1GB Internet connectivity
  5. Uninterrupted power supply with four 10 KVa
  6. Dedicated 350 TB personal network storage.
  7. AMD Epyc based 64 cores, 1 TB RAM, ~200 TB storage server system.
