The analysis of biological information has grown more crucial alongside the expansion of massive datasets, including genetic sequences. With the rise of personalized genomics in healthcare, we'll face an overwhelming volume of data to process. Sequencing every American's genome alone would produce exabytes of information.
As Chicago's exclusive technology-centered university, Illinois Tech merges the solid fundamentals of a biology undergraduate program with the specialized expertise of a computer science graduate degree to cultivate skilled computational biologists.
Enhance your employability by combining biological and computational knowledge, opening doors to improved career opportunities across both disciplines. Alternatively, lay the groundwork for pursuing advanced academic studies.
