Bioinformatics degrees combine advanced knowledge of Biology with software programming, machine learning, data mining and interpretation. Bioinformatics scientists gather biological data and turn it into digestible, comprehensive information that is used for research. You'll study coding languages as well as genetics and genomics that will help develop treatments and prevention methods for genetic diseases. Bioinformatics graduates start interdisciplinary careers in medical research, pharmaceutical companies, and software development.
