Program Overview

Bioinformatics is the development and application of computational and statistical techniques for solving problems involving complex biological data. This emerging discipline is growing rapidly alongside technological developments for large-scale data generation in the life sciences, such as in genomics, proteomics, functional pathway analysis, health sciences, and biodiversity.

Demand is accelerating for new approaches for data storage, retrieval, analysis, and applications. A new generation of professionals is required to meet this demand, having bioinformatics skills and the capacity to create new approaches.

The Master of Bioinformatics program is a three-semester, course-based master’s degree, which provides life science graduates with the skills needed to work with the complex data now routinely generated by researchers across all disciplines. The program trains students in statistics, programming, and data analysis approaches so as to manage, analyze, and interpret large volumes of data from across science disciplines.
