Bioinformatics and Biostatistics

Bioinformatics develops and applies computational methods to analyze large collections of biological data, such as genetic sequences, cell populations or protein samples, to make new predictions or discover new biology. The computational methods include analytical methods, mathematical modeling and simulation.

Biostatistics is the science of leveraging statistical inputs, methods, and models to perform decision making in biological experiments, at various points across a bioresearch or study lifecycle (starting from conception to design, conduct, detailed analysis, and reporting). The application of biostatistical techniques is paramount in public health and medicine.
