B.S. in Chemical Biology - Concentration in
Bioinformatics
Huge amounts of data are being generated by the new and powerful
techniques of determining the structures of biological molecules and
manipulating biomolecular sequences. Bioinformatics makes use of
mathematical and computer science techniques to process the
information that is pouring out of laboratories so it can be used for
further scientific advances. The Stevens Bioinformatics Program is
built on the foundations of Chemical Biology. After the first two
years in the Chemical
Biology Program, the Bioinformatics student begins replacing
certain electives with mathematics and computer science courses,
provided that CS 115 is taken in the freshman year.
The Third and Fourth Years of the Bioinformatics
concentration are given below:
