The Certificate in Bioinformatics and Cheminformatics focuses on understanding a diverse set of data from biological systems to chemical informatics (or cheminformatics). Bioinformatics focuses on storing, indexing, searching, retrieving, and applying information about biologic molecules, such as genomics. Cheminformatics focuses on storing, indexing, searching, retrieving, and applying information about chemical compounds.
The certificate program is comprised of one four-credit course, two three-credit courses, and one elective course.
