CAREER IN BIOINFORMATICS

The field of bioinformatics is one way to deal with this explosion of data. Unfortunately for neophytes trying to understand the field, bioinformatics means different things to different people. At its core, however, the field is simply the intersection of biology and the computational sciences, which include mathematics, statistics, and computer science.
