MSc in Bioinformatics in Ann Arbor United States | University of Michigan Ann Arbor

Launched in 2000, the University of Michigan's Bioinformatics Graduate Program holds two active NIH Training Grants. This cross-disciplinary initiative spans multiple schools and departments throughout U-M. Co-directed by Dr. Margit Burmeister (Professor of Psychiatry and Human Genetics) and Dr. Maureen Sartor (Associate Professor of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics), the program offers a Master's degree that equips graduates for diverse roles in industry, government, and academic research. The program also serves as excellent preparation for students considering doctoral studies who may need additional academic readiness, particularly those transitioning back from professional careers. Additionally, PhD candidates in other U-M programs can earn a Bioinformatics Master's by completing relevant coursework alongside their doctoral studies, provided their dissertation includes a bioinformatics-focused chapter.
