Bioinformatics combines biology and computer science, incorporating key aspects of biochemistry, mathematics, and statistics. This interdisciplinary field focuses on using advanced computing techniques to analyze vast biological datasets. The Bioinformatics Ph.D. program is a collaborative effort between the Biology, Chemistry, and Computer and Information Sciences departments, leveraging the College of Science and Technology's extensive faculty expertise. Designed for top doctoral candidates, it provides an option beyond the Biology Ph.D. for those specializing in computational genomics across multiple disciplines. Students receive comprehensive training through coursework covering major bioinformatics research areas. Although housed in the Biology Department, the program involves faculty from various science departments, allowing students to work with advisors from different fields.
Evolutionary Genomics uses computational approaches to study genome structure changes,
