Study new technologies! Apply your interest in computers to molecular biology! There has been tremendous growth in the amount of molecular biological knowledge in recent years thanks to new technologies involving genes and gene sequences, protein sequences and structures, and computers and the internet. All this data requires the development of specialized computer techniques for its collection, storage, manipulation, and analysis. Such techniques all fall into the realm of Bioinformatics. Bioinformatics combines computer science and molecular biology, and requires understanding of the areas of biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and probability and statistics.
Bioinformatics has opened my eyes to a whole new area of Biochemistry and Computer Science. Pursuing Bioinformatics will open up endless opportunities as there is so much of this field that has yet to be explored!—Alyn Stavness, U of S Student
I choose to study Bioinformatics because it allows me to combine my aptitude for computers and mathematics with my interest in biology. Computers, running programs employing state-of-the-art algorithms, have emerged as a powerful tool in studying a huge variety of biological problems - problems which I personally find extremely interesting.—Brett Trost, Bachelor of Science High Honours in Bioinformatics (2007), current Graduate student
