Course description
If you are interested in biology, computing and/or mathematics, then this could be an ideal course for you to take. You will be introduced to bioinformatics, an emerging discipline that is transforming how we make discoveries in molecular bioscience. You will learn about technologies and methods for analysing the expression, structure and function of DNA, RNA and proteins, and for understanding the evolutionary relationships among different species. You will develop practical skills that will help you develop bioinformatics expertise to solve real-world problems at the forefront of life sciences.
