An academic, non-profit and non-political society named "Bio-informatics Society of Pakistan" has been established at the Punjab University's School of Biological Sciences in Lahore. The basic purpose is to provide a plat-form to life and other allied scientists to make aware about recent developments in bioinformatics and promoting this newly emerging field in Pakistan.
The main aims include developing a curriculum for bioinformatics to be considered by all universities through HEC, a research journal named "Journal of Bioinformatics" and holding conferences in this field across the country.
