This site and
database is brought together by a group of students studying Masters
in Bioinformatics, from
Suryadatta Group
of Institutes in Pune affiliated to
Sikkim - Manipal
University.
This is also a part of a project to present as a poster in an
International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCob
2006) held in Delhi from December 18 - 20, 2006.
Realizing the graveness of Tuberculosis in India, we decided to gather
all the information available about Tuberculosis and make it available
at one place. Besides creating awareness about the prevention, causes,
symptoms and diagnosis of the disease, we created a database on the
various treatment available for the disease. The database includes the
drugs currently used as well as the traditional herbal medicine which
proves to be a better alternative to cure the disease. Being easily
query-able and providing the latest information about each drug, it
proves to be a platform for patients, doctors as well as researchers
to gain knowledge about the drugs and herbs.
The students involved in creating the website and database are:
1. Darshan Waghchaware
2. Deepak Toppinkatti
3. Chaitanya Gokhale
4. Tejasvi Mahendraker
5. Shweta Jog
6. Sameera Kari
7. Suvarna Joshi
8. Amrapali Zaveri
We have written down our experience at InCoB, which may be viewed
here. We presented the project as a
poster, which may be viewed here.
