Master in Scienze della Bioinformatica

Biology, meet big data. At the intersection of computer science and the life sciences is bioinformatics, an industry that fuels scientific discovery and is essential in all areas of biotechnology, including personalized medicine, drug and vaccine development, and database/software development for biomedical data.

As the healthcare, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries become more reliant on complex data analysis and artificial intelligence, the need for experts with both biological knowledge and programming and quantitative skills will continue to increase.

The Johns Hopkins MS in Bioinformatics program combines studies in data and computer sciences with biological science areas, including molecular biology, biochemistry, personalized medicine, and genomic sequencing. You’ll also explore current issues and gain practical skills through courses in both computer science and biotechnology.
