Bioinformatics (BSc)

Program Information

School:Carleton University
Faculty:Faculty of Science
Degree:Bachelor; Honours
Field of Study:Bioinformatics
Description:Modern biology is enriched by the infusion of ideas and tools from computer science, data science, mathematics and statistics. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that taps into the complex datasets in the life sciences. It uses techniques from computer science, including artificial intelligence, to pose and probe biological questions that are too complex for the human mind to untangle without computer assistance. Some examples include high-throughput analysis of the genome, transcriptome, protein structure and function, drug interactions, epidemiology and evolution. Take courses in bioinformatics, biology, biochemistry and computer science.

Your career: big data analytics in the medical, environmental and agricultural sectors; biodiversity monitoring; biostatistics; database design; disease diagnostics; drug discovery
