Certificate Program in Bioinformatics
[6 Months]
Aims and Objectives
This course will provide an introduction to bioinformatics to interpret the rapidly expanding
amount of biological information. The course will cover the basic concepts of Bioinformatics
and focus how to identify, obtain, establish, maintain and exchange research information in
biology.
The course aim to provide:
The concepts of computer science that relate to problems in biological sciences.
Commercial and academic perspectives on bioinformatics.
The impact of bioinformatics on the methodologies used in biological science.
The influence biological science has on computing science.
The aim of this course is to provide an intensive, high quality, one year training in bioinformatics
with both taught components and extensive practical experience for students from a range of
scientific backgrounds. The course will be relevant to a wide range of industries that involve
knowledge of the networks and databases in bioinformatics and the use and development of
computer software.
