Overview

As the power and organizational capacity of computers quickly grew, it provided molecular biology scientists with an amazing tool to further their research. However, even with the computer, the challenge for molecular biologists continues to be organizing and utilizing the wealth of information entering computer databases to answer basic biological questions.

The scientists who do so are able to solve a variety of important biological challenges facing our society including diagnosis and treatment of disease, management of environmental degradation, and production of a stable food supply. The Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics program from University of Wisconsin-Parkside integrates training in molecular biology with computer and programming skills essential for success in the life sciences.

Critical thinking, problem solving, and practical work in the laboratory and at computer terminals are emphasized. Your educational experience can best be described as hands-on. You'll benefit from professors who take a personal interest and build lasting relationships. This one-on-one attention is the educational foundation that launches successful careers.

Outside the classroom, Parkside offers the opportunity for you to get involved. Honor societies, student clubs, and organizations help establish your leadership skills, build your community connections, and create a professional network of mentors and coaches. The results speak for themselves. The undergraduate MBBI is excellent preparation for the Parkside master's program in applied molecular biology. Opportunities for MBBI students include medicine, pharmaceuticals and drug design, agriculture, environmental protection, and forensics.

Amazing Results

Our graduates are succeeding at some of the top schools in the nation, including the Medical College of Wisconsin, UW-Madison, the University of Chicago, Washington University School of Medicine, and Johns Hopkins. In their professional careers, Parkside graduates play key roles at leading employers such as: Abbott Laboratories, SC Johnson, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Aurora Healthcare, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare, and many more.
