Bioinformatics as a Career

Bioinformatics: Bioinformatics brings together the fields of life science, computer science and statistics. When biological information is captured on computer, it can be used to produce new computer systems (databases, software, networks, and even hardware) and solve problems in a wide variety of areas ranging from biology to medicine. Bioinformaticians strive to understand medical and biological systems by the creative use of statistics and computer analysis. They may write computer programs to analyse data in a new way, they may apply existing analytical tools to new data sets, they may introduce novel statistical methods into the analysis of data and they may extend existing analytical capabilities to genome sized data sets. The most recognised application of bioinformatics has been the mapping of the human genome sequence. By studying bioinformatics at Sydney, you tap into a vast breadth of expertise in bioinformatics covering the disciplines of statistics, ...
