专业概况

在这里学什么？

Scientific research is rapidly becoming a digital, information-driven field resulting in lots of data that’s increasingly more difficult to manage and understand. Bioinformatics strives to adapt the powerful information processing techniques from computer sciences to yield new and exciting discoveries from biological, medical, and health data. Bioinformaticians use powerful computational techniques such as data modeling, machine learning, data mining, and data visualization to analyze and observe biological processes like never before. They play a pivotal role in modern research within both wet laboratories and digital labs.

Opportunities

The Bioinformatics concentration at UNO provides the most promising avenue for anyone interested in pursuing a career in scientific research. Bioinformatics is one of the fastest growing careers involved in scientific research. Employment opportunities are projected to grow by over 20% from 2012-2022. Bioinformaticians are highly sought by pharmaceutical companies, universities, hospitals, clinics, research facilities of companies, educational and medical institutions, and government regulatory agencies to fill jobs paying an average of over $81k/yr.

Objectives of Bioinformatics Concentration

• Impart upon the student a deep knowledge of biology.
• Encourage student to exercise and develop very efficient algorithms to extract biological knowledge from complex and challenging dataset.
• Train students to manipulate scientific datasets and retrieve and access them through databases.
• Expose students to the standard tools, frameworks, and libraries in preparation for industry.
• Engage students in active research in the field of bioinformatics.
