About Master of Science - Bioinformatics
With the advent of “big data,” bioinformatics has become one of the major growth opportunities in the life sciences.
The master's degree in bioinformatics addresses the cross-cutting core subject areas and skill sets identified by the International Society for Computational Biology as essential for bioinformaticians. The program meets the growing demand for desk- and bench-based science professionals to demonstrate expertise in the experimental design, data handling and data analysis of biology studies that examine genes (genomics, proteins), proteomics and metabolites (metabolomics).
It is designed to develop life science professionals who are fluent in this interdisciplinary field. Increasingly, bioinformatics is the engine by which researchers process, analyze and interpret the vast quantities of data generated every day across Maryland, the nation and the globe.
Students gain sound, practical knowledge in the following areas:
- Programming languages foundations – R, UNIX/Linux, Python
- Algorithm development and testing
- Modeling biological systems
- Molecular structure analysis
- Data management
- Structural bioinformatics
- Database systems and SQL
- Machine learning
- Bioinformatics sequence analysis and comparative genomics
- Systems and integrative biology
- Use of publicly available databases and analysis tools
- Leadership and project management skills.
