生物信息学选修课的目标是培训学生成为生物信息学跨学科领域的研究人员
The goal of the Bioinformatics Option is to train students to become researchers in the interdisciplinary field of Bioinformatics, which lies at the intersection of biological/medical sciences and mathematics/computer science/engineering. This work includes the development of strategies for experimental design, the construction of tools to analyze datasets, the application of modeling techniques, the creation of tools for manipulating Bioinformatics data, the integration of biological databases and the use of algorithms and statistics. The Bioinformatics Graduate Option consists of a number of interdisciplinary courses, as well as a seminar designed to bring students from many backgrounds together and to provide a thorough overview of research in this field. The typical entering student will be affiliated with one of about fourteen different ''home'' departments in three different Faculties, chosen based on his/her specific field of expertise, and will therefore meet the specific requirements for that department. The student will additionally be evaluated according to additional requirements specific to the Bioinformatics Option. Students in this option will have access to five specialized courses that are open only to students within the Bioinformatics Option.<br><br>###COVID Alert Message from University – This course is offered online and will continue on campus later.
