Bioinformatics

Dogs, cows, rats, and humans have all had their genomes sequenced, but studies on other species are also underway, meaning the demand for bioinformatics specialists continues to grow. It’s a relatively new discipline — one that applies information technology to molecular biology — and calls for experts in the field grow louder with each genome sequenced.

Demand is further heightened as experimental information on DNA, RNA, and protein sequences and expression levels becomes more readily available. Interpreting that information is neither simple nor straightforward, and there aren’t many who can perform the analysis. You need training in biology, chemistry, computer science, and bioinformatics itself to do the review. Our MS program in Bioinformatics gives you the skills to do the job.
