On-Campus Bioinformatics Specialization Program

The bioinformatics electives of the bioinformatics specialization program prepares students with the background and skills to apply state-of-the-art computational and analytic technologies to manage and manipulate biological-related information. This includes but is not limited to tasks such as gene and protein sequence matching, gene finding, protein interactions, as well as analysis of data to help understand and predict biological processes and functions.
