Overview
Bioinformatics from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) can be defined broadly as the study of the inherent structure of biological information. Some of this inherent structure is very obvious (e.g., statistical patterns that reveal crucial functional regions such as genes), while others are less obvious but still immediately fruitful (e.g., how regulatory sequences give rise to “programs” of gene expression), while others are profound long-term challenges (e.g., how the genome encodes the capabilities of the human mind).
Students at Bioinformatics from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will:
- distinguish different types of tumors with dramatically different treatment requirements, which previously were hard to differentiate clinically.
- know about reveal the precise pathways by which dangerous pathogens (like HIV) evolve drug resistance, and how to slow the evolution of multi-drug resistance.
- know about mapping brain functions automatically from standard imaging data.
