Overview

Are you just as passionate about developing and using computational tools as you are about exploring complex biological systems?

While other schools offer Bioinformatics as a concentration within a Biology program from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, our program draws equally from three disciplines—Biology, Computer Science, and Mathematics.

Careers

Through our unique interdisciplinary program, you will develop foundational knowledge in Biology, Computer Science, and Mathematics, and you may choose to specialize in one of the three. You may also take interdisciplinary courses on topics including biovisualization, biomedical database mining, simulation in biology, and statistical methods in genetics and bioinformatics.

As you learn about the theories, tools, and techniques that underlie Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, you will also have many opportunities to apply your knowledge to solve real-world problems through extensive project work and research.
