Bioinformatics Associated Faculty
Bioinformatics sits at the intersection of computation and life sciences, advancing our ability to understand the biological world through data.
Our teams design algorithms for analyzing DNA and protein sequences, predict molecular interactions using machine learning, and model evolutionary processes computationally. We also study how computational techniques can accelerate biomedical research, from drug discovery to personalized medicine. We support healthcare innovations and contribute to fundamental discoveries in biology and medicine by transforming massive biological datasets into actionable knowledge.
The BS in Applied Computer Science with a concentration in bioinformatics (BNF) prepares students to analyze biological data, model evolutionary processes, and accelerate breakthroughs in personalized medicine and drug discovery.
