MASTER OF SCIENCE IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE (M.S.B.S.) in BIOINFORMATICS
The University of Toledo is a pioneer in the field of bioinformatics — a field at the intersection of computer science and molecular biology. We have offered a graduate program in bioinformatics for more than a decade.
We offer:
Master of science in biomedical sciences (M.S.B.S.) with a concentration in bioinformatics and proteomics-genomics
Professional science master’s degree (P.S.M.) with a concentration in biomarkers and diagnostics. The P.S.M. program is focused on industrial careers, with required courses in business administration and an internship instead of a thesis.
Certificate in bioinformatics and diagnostics. Complete four core courses and earn formal certification.
UToledo’s bioinformatics graduate program is a core educational component of the Center for Biomarker Research and Personalized Medicine (School of BRIM). BRIM was designated by the Ohio Board of Regents as a Center of Excellence in Biomedicine and Individualized Medicine in 2009.
The School of Biomarker Research and Individualized Medicine is housed in the College of Medicine and Life Sciences, but includes faculty and students from the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and the College of Engineering.
