• Bioinformatics combines biology, biochemistry, mathematics, statistics, and computer science for analyzing and understanding the biochemical processes of life.
  • If students’ passion is understanding biological processes, genetics, or diseases using biological information, this program would suit well.
  • Students will learn specialized computational techniques for storing, visualizing, and analyzing data generated from genome sequencing projects and technologies for determining gene expression and protein structures.
  • Students will be able to deduce information about an organism from its genome.
  • Basic principles and techniques of nucleic acid manipulations used in molecular biology and biotechnology are presented.
  • Students will also learn to use major proteomic and genomic databases, to utilize bioinformatics software toolboxes, and write simple bioinformatics programs in a scripting language.
