About the Program
Bioinformatics relies on techniques from applied mathematics, informatics, statistics, computer science, physics, chemistry, and biology to study biological composition, structure, function, and evolution at the molecular, cellular, and systems levels. It comprises all aspects of the gathering, storing, analysing, predicting, and disseminating the corresponding information. Graduate study in Bioinformatics at UCSF is a comprehensive track within the Integrative Program in Quantitative Biology and leads to a Ph.D. degree in Biological and Medical Informatics. The interdepartmental group consists of more than 20 faculty members drawn from a variety of fields. Approximately 30 students are enrolled in the program.
