Bioinfomatics Cluster
If you like to "compute for a purpose", this bioinformatics cluster is for you. The next generation of computational biologists are already revolutionizing medicine, identifying variations in DNA that are predictive of phenotypes (propensity of diseases). The bioinformatics cluster focuses on combinatorial and machine learning algorithms, statistical techniques, and biomedical instrumentation technologies required for solving biological problems. They will train students to understand, manipluate, and interrogate biological data, preparing them for careers in biotechnology industry, and graduate school, including medicine.
