At Kansas City University, we offer a unique opportunity for students in our two-year Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences Research program to have an emphasis in bioinformatics. This cutting-edge field represents one of the world's fastest-growing sectors, blending biology, computer science and data analysis to solve complex biological problems.

"Bigger data is great, but it’s harder to manage—and that’s where the field of bioinformatics is crucial. It helps us deepen our knowledge in a way that traditional methods can’t. Be open to where your interests take you. I came in thinking I’d never like lab work—and now I love it.”

—Amanda Gardner Kay, Class of 2025
