The objectives of the Bioinformatics pole are:

• Encourage the access to innovations in research and the best exploitation of research data management.

• Develop the critical spirit of the researchers around their axis of research.

• Bring an active help to the improvement of the public health while having for constant worries to feed it by research and the innovation. 

• Start training researchers to use bioinformatics as an indispensable tool to research.

• Encourage interdisciplinary creating a network of scientific information available to the researchers of the institute and partners

Long­term training activities:

• To integrate the bioinformatics in the training programs of academic scientists.

• Development of West Africa Centre training in bioinformatics and genome data analysis.

Short­term training activities:

The IPCI will organize in the month of May 2007 a yearly regional course of initiation and using genome data analysis with the participation of the Centre Biotechnologique de Sfax, Tunisia (Pr Ahmed Rebaï, Department of bioinformatics).

University of Ibadan (UIB)­Ibadan:
There has been significant increase in the number of bioinformatics activities in Nigeria (and West Africa) since 2003 when the program was initiated by the West African Biotechnology Workshops Series (WABWS, http://www.wabw.org) at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria (in collaboration with  the South African National Bioinformatics Institute (SANBI, http:/www.sanbi.ac.za). Workshops  that were open to scientists from all African countries have seen a very high number of applications  from scientists based in West Africa. The encouraging desire to acquire cutting­edge skills to  computational process data and extract useful knowledge from genome projects led to the interest of  the West African Biotechnology Workshops (WABW) to develop an agenda to address the  bioinformatics skills gap among scientists in West Africa. An increased commitment from agencies  like NEPAD would be required in the provision of infrastructure to establish and sustain regional  and national networks.

University of Ilorin (UIL)­Ilorin:
The University of Ilorin was established in 1976 by the Federal Government of Nigeria.  Bioinformatics activities started at the University in February 2003 with the establishment of the  West African Bioinformatics Research Initiative (WABRI). However, progress has been rather slow  due to inadequate funding. We are mainly engaged in Bioinformatics training at the introductory  level and proteomics studies on various species of malaria parasites. Recently, we became interested  in comparative genome analysis of various species of  Plasmodium  and the comparison of  chloroquine sensitive and chloroquine resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Other activities  and areas of interest can be seen on our website, http://www.wabri.org, although not all our  proposed interests have been fully implemented due to our level of funding.

Training:
The University of Ilorin has introduced M.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes in Computer Science (with  options in Bioinformatics). The programme is based in the Department of Computer Science and  emphasis is on the development of algorithms to solve problems in bioinformatics. The Covenant University offers M.Sc. and Ph.D in Computer Science with option in Bioinformatics  (Computational Biology). Furthermore, through affiliated departments, the CBBM is been design to award Diploma and Degree certificates in Biotechnology.
