Graduate Certificate in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics

Lewis University

Lewis University’s Data Science Certificate programs were created to provide working professionals and students with the opportunity to learn data analysis techniques to enhance your decision-making. Certificate programs contain in-depth instruction, with classes offered in a convenient, flexible, online format. The certificate programs can potentially be earned within one year.cations of big data.The Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Graduate Certificate was created for those who want to solve problems in healthcare and life sciences through the analysis of large data. The online program will teach students the technical skills of data analysis and biotechnology, as well as how to apply those techniques within the areas of computational biology, pharmaceuticals and genetics. Individuals who complete the graduate certificate program will gain the knowledge and technical skills to:Create software for analyzing large data sets.Be real-world problem solvers in how best to use data to inform decision-making in computational biology and bioinformatics.Evaluate possible solutions for data storage and encryption that meet prescribed performance and storage requirements.Implement data management solutions related to computational biology and bioinformatics.Identify trends within data sets.Utilize big data sets.Compare cloud-based solutions for storing large data sets in terms of performance, security, query mechanisms, software development and cost.Use innovative ways to utilize data for technical research.Create and choose visualization approaches that most clearly depict the characteristics of the data that need to be communicated for a particular purpose.
