Overview

Bioinformatics, genomics, and proteomics are rapidly advancing fields that integrate the tools and knowledge from biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics, and statistics in research at the intersection of the biological and informational sciences.

Key Features

Inspired by the enormous amount of biological data that are being generated from the sequencing of genomes, these new fields will help us pose and answer biological questions that have long been considered too complex to address. Research in genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics will also significantly impact society affecting medicine, culture, economics, and politics.

The Bioinformatics, Genomics and Proteomics curriculum from Williams College involves faculty from the biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics/statistics, and physics departments and is designed to provide students with an understanding of these revolutionary new areas of investigation. There are many routes into this interdisciplinary field, so taking introductory courses in the related disciplines will open doors to the BiGP focused courses.

Students interested in graduate work in bioinformatics, genomics, and proteomics should take BIGP courses and their prerequisites. Interested students are also encouraged to participate in independent research with members of the advisory faculty as they explore the development of these new fields.
