Bioinformatics
Pursue a future in Bioinformatics. You’ll combine biology and computing in a revolutionary approach to science and medicine. From expanding knowledge of the human genome to developing personalized medicines to cure disease, you’ll conduct important translational research that promises to make life better.
Today’s science and technology capture immense amounts of biological data – data that holds the key to resolving life’s biggest questions.
But finding such answers requires people uniquely-qualified in the computer and life sciences to understand and apply this data.
Using computational languages and tools, Bioinformatics will prepare you to design and execute translational research linking data to medicine and drug discovery. And you’ll experience excellent career prospects in the pharmaceutical, biotech and IT industries, as well as government and academia.
It’s a field with untold promise but one guarantee — you will help people lead better, healthier lives.
The School of Informatics and Computing's Bioinformatics program offers a Master of Science and a Ph.D. degree.
