Bioinformatics is a powerful multidisciplinary science that applies computational and statistical tools to curate and analyze expansive amounts of biological data. The utility of bioinformatics is being realized in an ever-increasing number of fields including molecular biology, personalized and preventative medicine, biotechnology, food technology, agriculture, and environmental science, and many others.
Recent advances in high throughput sequencing technology has enabled the inexpensive generation of vast amounts of biological data, some of which has been made openly available in online data repositories. Using this data, along with existing and novel computational tools, students in the Bachelor of Science in Bioinformatics will learn to formulate questions and cultivate ideas, mine databases, and create visualizations that lead to innovation. This program is designed to emphasize real-world relevance and applied learning through the incorporation or computer lab-based courses and experiential learning opportunities, such as a mandatory eight-month co-op term.
The Bachelor of Science in Bioinformatics will produce a highly desirable and skilled graduate trained to contribute to the knowledge economy and succeed in this rapidly growing and dynamic field.
