New Bioinformatics Program

 

Bioinformatics is a dynamic and emerging area of science connecting biology, probability/statistics, and computer science.  For example, the enormous amount of data involved in The Human Genome Project requires an understanding of the biology of DNA as well as an expertise in computer science and information technology.

In this grant, we seek to add Bioinformatics to the Biology, Biochemistry, and Computer Science undergraduate curricula.  To that end, we are
