Master of Bioinformatics

This degree is currently under review and is not accepting new admissions in 2021.

Lead biological discoveries

Bioinformaticians are at the interface of mathematics/statistics, computer science and biology and manage, analyse and interpret complex biological data. As genetic information explodes, this high-demand role is highly sought after in personalised medicine, agricultural research, biomedical research, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.

Our Master of Bioinformatics prepares you to meet the growing demand for experts in the field. You'll develop competitive analytical and research skills as you:

• learn how to deal with large, complex biological data sets
• apply bioinformatic analyses to real world problems in human health and agriculture
• examine interlinked issues in translational bioinformatic research, translation and development
• choose electives in particular areas of interest
• conduct a major research project.

You might analyse how pharmacologic therapies alter gene expression in cancers. You could look at ways to accelerate and improve the growth of food crops. Perhaps you'll design new methods for detecting disease or predicting disease risk.
