專(zhuān)業(yè)概況
在這里學(xué)什么?
The curriculum is designed to provide students with advanced skills in either Molecular Biochemistry or Bioinformatics. Since the complete sequencing of the human genome, the health science discipline of genomics/proteomics has unfolded and evolved, increasingly improving the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. Emerging in tandem with genomics is the field of bioinformatics, associated with massive databases of gene and protein sequences and other biological information. Modern science utilizes bioinformatics not only to process and mine the data, but also to generate new testable hypotheses.
Students in this program can choose to follow either a Molecular Biochemistry track or a Bioinformatics path. Students following the Biochemistry option take advanced biochemistry and molecular medicine courses as well as several hands-on laboratory techniques classes and gain exposure to a myriad of laboratories and research initiatives. Students selecting the Bioinformatics track, one of the first in the United States devoted exclusively to teaching important genome-wide approaches to medicine and biology, will focus on the use of current bioinformatics technologies for analyzing high-throughput data from genomics and proteomics experiments. Course topics include leveraging Big Data for biomarker discovery in the era of personalized medicine, role of statistics in bioinformatics, gene function prediction, algorithm and software development.
Each track offers the option of preparing a thesis by completing research at GW Medical Center, NIH, FDA or the Children’s National Medical Center. Alternatively, the non-thesis program requires a hands-on practicum at participating institutions.
Upon graduation, students are aptly prepared for careers in any field from advanced biomedical research, genomics, bioinformatics, medicine, public health to law and policy.
