博士学位的生物信息学轨迹 信息学专业的学生可以通过与印第安纳大学，其他机构和研究中心以及企业的科学家进行研究合作，使学生成为顶尖的学术研究人员和生物信息学专业人才。生物信息学通过结合多个学科（包括生命科学，分子生物学，化学，遗传学，计算机科学，医学和统计学）以及使用大量数据来做到这一点。也称为计算生物学，这个快速增长的领域专注于生物学数据的建模，发现和管理。除了改善生物学和医学科学，生物信息学还为新兴行业（如个性化医学）创造了机会。
As an informatics Ph.D. student, you'll conduct practical and theoretical research into areas such as complex networks and systems, human-computer interaction design, and virtual heritage. When you've earned your degree, you'll have the knowledge and skills you need to become a leader in academia, government, industry, or the nonprofit sector.<br><br>Are you interested in pursuing answers to biological and medical research questions through training in informatics, computer science, life sciences, chemistry, and statistics The bioinformatics track may be for you. This track focuses on:<br><br>Bioinformatics shapes tomorrow<br>Watch how Bioinformatics is making a difference<br><br>See Bioinformatics in action<br><br>Sequence pattern recognition<br>Comparative genomics<br>Structural genomics<br>Fragment assembly in DNA sequencing<br>Systems biology<br>Models of evolution<br>Molecular modeling<br>Drug design<br>This track will prepare you to become a top academic researcher or accomplished bioinformatics professional, in part through research collaborations with scientists at Indiana University, other institutions and research centers, and businesses.
