What are Bioinformatics and Biological Data Science?
Bioinformatics is the sciencce that happens when computers are joined with the latest discoveries in genomics, biochemistry and biophysics. It is a rapidly growing field that brings together elements of biology chemistry, computer science, physics, and statistics.
Biological Data Science involves the analysis of biological data, including visualization, machine learning and statistical inference
Bioinformatics and Biological Data Science are related fields, and both are experiencing rapid job growth. Both fields are essential parts of healthcare and biotechnology research.
A Professional Science Master's Degree is a unique Master's degree with a dual emphasis on science training and professional development. It is designed specifically to prepare students to move directly from school or another career into a new career.
