The use of computational techniques and information systems has revolutionized research in the biological sciences — from the analysis of DNA sequences and the understanding of gene expression and regulation to the structural modeling of proteins and RNAs and the evolutionary relationship between species. The Master of Science in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology program brings together expertise from Saint Louis University in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and statistics, biochemistry and molecular biology.

Bioinformatics and computational biology program students must complete either a research experience with faculty or an internship with a biotech firm in the St. Louis area, which is home to one of the largest concentrations of biotech companies in the country. This requirement gives our M.S. students the opportunity for hands-on experience working with academic researchers or private industry. Industry partners include:
