Students pursuing Translational Bioinformatics (TBI) can specialize in this focus area within the Pathobiology Program. TBI represents an innovative biomedical discipline that bridges molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and related fields with clinical applications through computational methods.
While sharing common ground with conventional bioinformatics and computational biology, TBI prioritizes implementing computational solutions to enhance patient care, particularly in personalized medicine. Our TBI curriculum offers two specialized pathways: Translational and Cancer Bioinformatics (TCBI) and Pathology Informatics (PI). TCBI candidates will explore computational approaches for disease diagnosis and treatment (theranostics), whereas PI students will develop expertise in Laboratory Information Systems (LIS), Digital Pathology (DP), and advanced Whole-Slide Image (WSI) analysis techniques.
The TBI program is directed by Pathology and Anatomical Sciences faculty, working jointly with experts from the University of Missouri Informatics Institute (MUII), Health Management and Informatics Department (HMI), and Computer Science Department.
