As one of the emerging disciplines, the discipline of bioinformatics is the interdiscipline of biological science and information science. It uses the technical means of computer science (informatics) to study the biological data, including capturing, storing, transmitting, computing, analyzing, simulating and predicting the biological data.
The objective of the discipline of bioinformatics is to cultivate students with the foundation of mathematics and computers and skills of foreign language. Based on the solid basic knowledge of modern life science, it focuses on the professional training on the basic theory, knowledge and research skill of bioinformatics, Biological database technology, genomics, proteomics, Molecular genetics and evolution, systems biology, microarray data analysis and so on.
It has great prospects of teaching, scientific research and business employment. More than 50% graduates continues to further study and others can get a good job in research, development, teaching and management in research institutes and universities in the field of bioinformatics and relevant areas.
