The Minor in Bioinformatics establishes a cutting-edge scientific discipline that integrates biology, computer science, mathematics, and other specialized areas. This broad-based field significantly impacts all aspects of biological study, from understanding genetic diseases to developing new pharmaceuticals.
Bioinformatics involves the comprehensive application of powerful quantitative tools. This includes mathematics, such as probability and statistics, core sciences like biochemistry, and advanced problem-solving methods, including computer algorithms. All these elements are applied to unlock the understanding of living systems. This minor provides students with a strong foundational study in this emerging and critically important field.
