Bioinformatics Graduate Program

This degree program has an interdisciplinary instructive projects that underlines bioinformatics of genomics, proteomics and structures science, based upon the investigation qualities and bioinformatics base at the Protein Information Resource (PIR) and Georgetown University. With PC lab-based courses and a bioinformatics impermanent position, understudies will get hands-on inclusion in applying bioinformatics to biomedical investigation, from crucial sub-nuclear gathering examination to bleeding edge high-throughput omics data examination. The recommended length of study is 3 semesters disregarding the way that understudies may complete the degree in 2 semesters.

Bioinformatics is critical to the front line examination of science and urgent to 21st century biomedical investigation. This framework is planned for understudies who might need to get data and contribution in both Biochemistry/Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics. As bioinformatics specialists with enrolling and bioscience capacities, the graduates may look for after a calling in industry, government or the insightful world, or look for after further study towards a PhD, MD, MBA or law degree.

Bioinformatics is an invigorating, creating field at the intersection purpose of the common and computational sciences. The field incorporates the headway and utilization of computational instruments and systems for the collection, examination, organization, and representation of normal data, and showing and reenactment schedules for the examination of natural structures. The satisfaction of the human genome plan signified the begin of another time of regular investigation. Analysts began to methodicallly handle quality limit and complex regular strategies by looking at living creatures at the overall scale, from genomes, transcriptomes and proteomes to metabolomes and interactomes. Advances in such high-throughput biotechnologies and generous scale bioscience have highlighted the essential piece of bioinformatics in present day biotechnology, drug disclosure, illness determination, and structures prescription.

This M.S. Bioinformatics Track degree undertaking is offered by the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular and Cellular Biology at Georgetown University Medical Center. The Department has a tremendous, dynamic biotechnology program, an inside and out joined PhD program and an overall financed research program covering a broad assortment of examination zones with an unprecedented focus on the System Biology of Environmental Effects and Gene Interactions. The Department is home to the Protein Information Resource (PIR), a bioinformatics resource that support genomics, proteomics and systems science research. The undertaking is also maintained by the Department of Oncology, Department of Biostatistics, Department of Computer Science, and the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown.

The framework joins coursework, hands-on PC labs, experience-building wanders, and a bioinformatics section level position. The 16-week provisional position outfits opportunities to work with bioinformatics workforce on grounds, or bioinformatics specialists off grounds in driving Washington region bioinformatics, biomedical and biotechnology associations, including:

National Institute of Health (NIH, for instance, NCI Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology(CBIIT) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)

The J Craig Venter Institute (in the past TIGR)

Children's National Medical Center

Group for Advanced Research in Biotechnology (CARB)

National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST), and

Close-by biotechnology associations.
