• Since the complete sequencing of the human genome, the health science discipline of genomics/proteomics has unfolded and evolved, increasingly improving the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.
  • Emerging in tandem with genomics is the field of bioinformatics, associated with massive databases of gene and protein sequences and other biological information. Modern science utilizes bioinformatics not only to process and mine the data, but also to generate new testable hypotheses.
  • Students in this program can choose to follow either a Molecular Biochemistry track or a Bioinformatics path. Students following the Biochemistry option take advanced biochemistry and molecular medicine courses and gain exposure to a myriad of laboratories and research initiatives.
