पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

The mission of the program is to advance the field of bioinformatics/biostatistics by training students in bioinformatics/biostatistics methods research and its application through course work, seminars, workshops and thesis writing. Through courses in bioinformatics, biostatistics and mathematics, students will be able to develop and apply bioinformatics methods in the field of genomics and proteomics. Coursework includes analysis of micro-array data, statistical methods for bioinformatics, mathematical statistics and probability theory, applied and theoretical multivariate methods, stochastic processes, basic epidemiology, and demography, enabling the student to assist in the application of statistical theory to bioinformatics and proteomics data. Students are required to have had courses in calculus and linear algebra before entering this program. After completion of this degree, students will be able to do the following: Design experiments in bioinformatics, analyze gene expression micro-array data, analyze DNA and protein sequences; assist in the use of statistical theory to evaluate and use new statistical techniques; and communicate the results of statistical analysis orally and in writing.
