The opportunity to investigate these questions has grown exponentially in today's era of big data and advanced analytics. Breakthroughs in scientific and digital tools now enable us to gather enormous quantities of biological system data, transforming how we comprehend our world. However, to unlock the knowledge hidden within massive datasets, scientists must master computer science languages and techniques.
The Systems and Information Biology BSc program positions you at the dynamic crossroads of biology and computing. Through classroom instruction, laboratory work, and research initiatives, you'll develop skills in computational and bioinformatics methods for biological exploration. Your program trajectory may include: molecular and cellular biology, programming and biological algorithms, genomics and biological data science, mathematical modeling and statistics, as well as ecological and evolutionary biology
Concordia's practical learning method establishes strong career preparation for life sciences or environmental fields, while also preparing students for advanced academic pursuits. Those preferring a computer science-focused approach to these subjects might explore the Health and Life Sciences BCompSc. The Co-op option offers valuable paid work experience through 12-16 week placements.
