Why study Bioinformatics and Computational Biology BS - Biomedical Informatics Concentration at UB?

The Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) program is an interdisciplinary program that provides students with training in the biological sciences, mathematics, and computing needed to elucidate the molecular entities that govern biological organization at all levels, from molecules to ecosystems. Students have the option to specialize in one of the three program sub-areas; Biological Sciences, Computer Science and Engineering, or Biomedical Informatics. An undergraduate concentration in BMI will blend training in the biological and health sciences with the computational and data sciences to foster the development of technical skills. These skills will teach you to manage data and information with the potential to impact the future of healthcare at the patient level and the system level. Informatics is revolutionizing the health care industry and students will have the opportunity to work with electronic health records and big data to understand the complexities of health care in the twenty-first century.

Learning Outcomes

Students will develop:

• Computational skills relevant to solving problems in bioinformatics.
• Relevant skills in math, statistics and biology that enable success in the field of bioinformatics.
• Analytical skills that will allow them to identify important problems in bioinformatics and to create solutions.
• Research skills that allow them to apply their academic training to real-world problems.
• Written and oral communication skills that are crucial to articulating research goals and reporting research results.

Career Outlook

According to the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA), informatics, sometimes confused with data science, big data, health information management and data analytics, is the overarching field that pulls all of these domains into one discipline whose goal is to improve health and healthcare. By providing our students with a broad training base we anticipate that they will successfully compete for entrance into medical, nursing, dental and other advanced clinical professional training programs. Students interested in the basic sciences will be encouraged to pursue advanced training leading to the master’s and/or doctoral degree in fields such as ontology, bioinformatics, and computational biology.

Informaticians will work to accelerate healthcare’s transformation by collecting, analyzing and applying data directly to health care decisions. Data produced at the bedside or in the lab are the driving force behind informatics’ ability to innovate critical advancements that directly benefit people.
