Overview

Students in the Biological and Medical Informatics program from University of California, San Francisco are involved with gathering, storing, analyzing, predicting, and disseminating complex information.

The field is essential, for without quantitative analysis of the massive and growing amounts of biological data generated by various systems, biology and -omics data cannot be interpreted or exploited.

Features

Members of the Bioinformatics faculty include members of the National Academy of Sciences, Howard Hughes Investigators, Searle Scholars, and National Institutes of Health (NIH) New Innovator Awardees.
