Why study Bioinformatics?
Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary science which applies computers to enhance our understanding of biology. Bioinformatics is changing the way we manage our health and the environment and how research in biological science is conducted. Biologists everywhere will increasingly require a working knowledge of this area as industries move more deeply into genetic technologies and the use of computing to simulate biological processes.
The field of Bioinformatics is highly interdisciplinary and is growing in importance to stakeholders, including scientific research organisations and the biotechnology sector. The single major will enable students to combine their studies with other majors, critical given the inherently interdisciplinary nature of the field of bioinformatics.
