Bioinformatics
Combine a set of methods with your programming to extract results from large sets of biological data to solve problems.
As a bioinformatician, you might study human diseases, find new, more powerful drugs, or unlock the secret biology of an organism. A few lines of programming code puts genomes at your fingertips.
