Master of Science [M.S] [Microbiology and Immunology (Bioinformatics)] From University of Ottawa

Bioinformatics is an emerging and increasingly important scientific discipline dedicated to the pursuit of fundamental questions about the structure, function, and evolution of biological entities through the design and application of computational approaches. Fundamental research in these areas is expected to increase our understanding of human health and disease which translates into innovation in industry. Bioinformaticians today must be able to appreciate significant research in other fields and therefore require an understanding of the basic principles of other disciplines. The degree awarded specifies the primary program and indicates "specialization in Bioinformatics."
