MSITians are multi-skilled and have varied interests ranging from graphics including flash, dream weaver, and exploring open sources to latest technologies like J2EE, .NET, web services, frameworks etc. Important areas of research are Software Engineering, E-Business Technologies, Computer Networks, Bio Informatics…the list is long!

PCtvt: A Multifunction Information Appliance with a TV, PVR, Video Phone, IP Phone and PC which is targeted to greach the peoples homes by 2007 is being developed and tested by the MSIT students and faculty.

Better solutions for JNTU online exam are being developed at MSIT by the students and faculty.

Research is being done on changing the entire Software engineering curriculum for engineering students to a case study based learning by the faculty of MSIT under the guidance of Dr. Vasudeva Verma, professor at IIIT.

In a quest to provide unparalleled training in Bio Informatics, IIIT started Bio Informatics Research centre (BIRC) in 2001. Initially students were taken in for PG diploma into BIRC, later it expanded its wings and started taking MSIT students in 2002. The success tasted with these two batches has inspired IIIT to start MTech, MS by Research and PhD program.

BIRC is equipped with excellent facilities and has collaborations with premier research organizations like CCMB, CDFD and ICRISAT. BIRC integrates research with education through MSIT. The outgoing batch of MSIT have contributed to the research at BIRC by developing various Bio Informatics tools.

Research focus in Bio Informatics

• Analysis of protein and DNA sequences for structural and functional annotations 

• Pattern Recognition in genomic sequences such as regulatory regions, repeat regions etc. 

• Dynamical systems analysis of biological systems 

• Analysis genomic data for detection of genome-specific signatures

• Docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies on biomolecules
