  About Us
 

HelixInfoSystems is a leading IT organization and an active service provider for our global clients in Healthcare informatics and Bioinformatics Domains since 2005. We have been providing Training, Summer Internships, Implant Training, Projects, Diploma and PG Diploma* courses in Bioinformatics (*Affiliated to Loyola College) and Cheminformatics with the motivation of getting an exposure to the state-of-the art research facilities and at the same time to bridge the gap between Industrial requirement and academic outputs. We have good network with Leading Academic and Research organizations in India.

Helix has become the Authorized Training Partner of VLife Sciences & Tech Pvt. Ltd. In Tamilnadu by obtaining commercial software in Cheminformatics and Drug Designing, in order to perform all scientific functions required to pursue structure based as well as ligand based drug designing approaches as well enhance the job opportunities to the Life science students, Scientists, Ph.D scholars etc. The Fast Track courses in PG Diploma and Diploma of 3 and 6 months duration offered through our highly skilled and trained faculties of Helix.


On completing more than six years in this field, Helix Research Academy has extended its services by supporting Ph.D and Research Scholars (M.Phil, M.Res, MS) by supporting them in providing solutions for Bioinformatics and Cheminformatics in respect of Ph.D thesis work.


Helix had also extended its training services to the prestigious Universities/ Colleges at their premises itself viz. Veltech University, SASTRA, Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, SRM etc., and be delighted to inform the strong and constant relationship with the above clients is still continuing due to our prominent services, dealings in the Technical and non-technical side. best people and processes in place.

TECHNICAL SKILLS OF SCIENTIST TEAM OF HELIX

The strength of HelixInfoSystems is exceptionally wide experienced faculties and having skill set of dealing bioinformatics tools of open source as well commercial softwares available at Helix. They are well versed in programming skills with strong basement in new innovative areas like Drug designing and docking analysis, Molecular Modelling, Toxicity Analysis and Phylogenetic analysis.

 

Our scientist team also well suited to guide the students on unraveling the fundamental links between sequences, structures, dynamics and biological functions of molecules such as proteins and Nucleic acids, to understand the functional role of regions of proteins/nucleic acids through their evolution and physico-chemical properties.


Dealing physics based models (docking /electrostatics/Molecular Dynamics / Reaction Pathways) to understand biochemical, biological function of biomolecules. To design peptides, small molecules (through virtual screening) to interrogate biology and to develop lead molecules for therapeutic purposes. To model the 3D structures of proteins and their complexes.

Also guiding the students in certificate courses, Diploma and PG Diploma courses, summer internships to Life science students under the various topics like QSAR, GROMACS Systems Biology Microarray Analysis by the team. Database creation using PERL-CGI with MySQL connectivity, Immunoinformatics, Molecular Dynamics and Simulation Cheminformatics and Drug Designing

Supporting Software & Tools of Bioinformatics

As a part of Helix pursuit to be technologically in synch with the times, the projects are guided by using commercial software like AutoDock Linux platform. In Autodock, the docking analysis are performed for biomolecules, the Amber is used to do molecular dynamics simulation for large and small molecules and VLife MDS 3.5 is a complete package of homology modeling, QSAR analysis, pharmacophore designing, molecular docking and to generate combinatorial library.
To add value to the dynamics area the Gromacs and to develop lead molecules Ligbuilder software are guided to the learners.


Infrastructure facilities:

Helix has scenic landscaping around with an excellent infrastructure of 1200 sq.ft. and located at a heart of the city of Chennai where the distance would be covered within 5 to 10 minutes by bus route and railway station from Nungambakkam and Loyola College. The institute has state of art Bioinformatics lab with more than 20 computers with advanced configurations, LAN and internet services through wireless connectivity, LCD projection systems, hardware and software, printers, scanners, etc.
