专业概况

The Richard and Loan Hill Department of Bioengineering offers a program leading to degrees in Bioinformatics at both the master’s and doctoral levels.

The thesis track is designed for MS in Bioinformatics students who are interested in conducting research. This track is strongly advised if you may be interested in pursuing a PhD in the future.

Researching and writing a master’s thesis is an academically intensive process that takes the place of 8 credits of traditional coursework. Students work with a faculty advisor to choose a topic of interest, engage in high-level study of that topic, and develop a paper that is suitable for presentation at a conference or submission to a journal.

The thesis experience provides definition to your master’s degree experience and can bolster your application for jobs or doctoral-level study by demonstrating your capabilities.

Master’s thesis students in bioinformatics have recently studied:

• Strategies for Identification of Small Molecule Inhibitors of Ad2 E3-19K/HLA-A2 Binding Interaction
• Deconstruction of Polymerase Chain Reaction to Reduce Bias Associated with Degenerate Primers
• Identifying Ligand Binding Sites of Proteins using Crystallographic Bfactors and Relative Pocket Sizes
• A Statistical Framework for genset Enrichement Analysis based on DNA Methylation and Gene Expression

Non-Thesis Track

In the non-thesis track, you earn all of your required 36 credit hours from coursework. Of these, 16 must be from courses at the 500 level. There is no comprehensive examination.
