Bioinformatics Program

Certificate in Clinical Bioinformatics

The rapidly evolving health care industry is in high demand for clinical bioinformatic practitioners. To meet this demand, we created the certificate program in Clinical Bioinformatics for junior faculty.


Certificate Overview

  • A total of 9 credit hours are required to earn the Certificate in one year.
  • The program is organized to meet one time per week and run throughout the year.

Learning Outcomes 

After completing the certificate program participants will be prepared to do the following:

Apply clinical bioinformatics theories, methods and tools related to personal health, health care, public health, and biomedical research (for example)

  • Work with and evaluate electronic health records
  • Work with and evaluate national health databases
  • Work with and evaluate omics repositories
  • Integrate clinical and omics data

Describe analytic tools associated with systems/bioinformatic approaches, including (for example):

  • Transcriptomics – microarray analysis deep sequencing
  • Proteomic mass spectroscopic methods (identification and abundance)

Apply Intelligent Data Analysis Techniques including (for example):

  • Dimension reduction techniques
  • Heuristic search techniques
  • Intelligent interfacing techniques

Describe application of bioinformatic methods to clinical problems, by demonstrating understanding of:

  • Biomarker discovery and validation
  • Major diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, and autoimmunity
