The bioinformatics electives of the bioinformatics/bioengineering specialization program prepares students with the background and skills to apply state-of-the-art computational and analytic technologies to manage and manipulate biological-related information. This includes but is not limited to tasks such as gene and protein sequence matching, gene finding, protein interactions, as well as analysis of data to help understand and predict biological processes and functions.
Bioengineering is a highly interdisciplinary field that calls upon knowledge and developments in molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and neurosciences to the design and use of medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and other important medical needs. The bioengineering electives help prepare students with the application of some of the principles in engineering to address challenges in human health.
