The Graduate Program in Bioinformatics
The Graduate Program in Bioinformatics
One of the first programs of its kind, the Graduate Program in Bioinformatics offers unique interdisciplinary training in the science, engineering, medicine and ethics of twenty-first-century cell biology. It includes some 50 Faculty from five BU Schools and Colleges, as well as a group of outstanding adjunct Faculty from industrial and non-profit organizations. Our curriculum focuses on the molecular biology and the physics of the cell, and emphasizes the use of advanced mathematics and computation. Read More
The research program includes state-of-the-art topics in systems biology, computational modeling of regulatory and metabolic networks, small-molecule and macromolecule docking, comparative genomics, protein design, genomic and proteomic biotechnology, microarray engineering and analysis, pharmacogenomics, structural biology, large-scale modeling of biological systems, RNA, computational studies of cancer and neurological disorders and functional genomics, synthetic gene networks and molecular computing and genetics.
Our dynamic environment is focused on students and helps them to gain experience in the field through academic and industrial rotations, internships, and a student seminar series. Our students regularly collaborate with faculty to produce publications. Show Less
