| The Bachelor of Science (Honors) in Bioinformatics is a well-designed program that increases students’ understanding of biological processes at a molecular level. Bioinformatics is the application of statistics and computer sciences to the field of molecular biology. The program also focuses on developing and applying computationally intensive techniques e.g. pattern recognition, data mining, machine learning algorithms, and visualization to achieve this goal. Our faculty are actively engaged in quality research both regionally and internationally. This means you will be taught by experts who apply their skills to developing cutting-edge technology. Major research efforts in the field include sequence alignment, gene finding, genome assembly, drug design, drug discovery, protein structure alignment, protein structure prediction, prediction of gene expression and protein-protein interactions, microarray data analysis, sequencing and genotyping, genome-wide association studies and the modeling of evolution. |
