- 18. PROGRAM OVERVIEW The exponential growth of the information in a cell, and our understanding of it, has created a new discipline called bioinformatics. NYU Tandon’s Master of Science in Bioinformatics program prepares students to manage and study data from the explosion of information from the life sciences. The program meets the demand for professionals with solid foundations in managing Big Data in the form of next generation sequence analysis and systems biology.
- 19. STUDENT TESTIMONIALS Attending the bioinformatics graduate program, at the School of Engineering has greatly benefited my career, and I would advise anyone interested in the field of bioinformatics to consider applying. The intensive curriculum provided me with a very broad skill-set including, but not limited to, functional annotation, statistical analysis, algorithm development/analysis, as well as genomics and proteomics. Since graduating in 2011, I have held two positions as a Bioinformatics Software Developer. The skills I acquired while attending NYU allowed me to excel in both positions. I can say with the utmost certainty that my bioinformatics career would not be where it is today, had I not attended this program -Matt Shoa-Azar, Class of 2011 Senior Engineer at BeyondCORE
- 20. STUDENT TESTIMONIALS The bioinformatics program at NYU School of Engineering has been a unique and rewarding experience. From the moment you start classes, the professors waste no time in indulging you in the challenging yet interesting curriculum, which is comprised of a combination of well-developed courses in computer programming, statistics, and biological applications. I found that, the further I progressed in my studies, all the pieces began to come together and I could see how much I had truly learned since my first day. The bioinformatics program even helped to provide me with field experience in bioinformatics and data analysis, so I could obtain some exposure to the nature of an industrial bioinformatics environment. I am grateful for this program; for its thorough curriculum, and diligent educators; and feel prepared for whatever challenges I may face. -Michael D’Eletto, Class of 2014 Bioinformatics Scientist for Yale New Haven Medical Center Cancer Tumor Profiling group
- 21. STUDENT TESTIMONIALS The bioinformatics program at NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering focuses on current techniques in Next Generation Sequence Analysis and offers tailored courses suited to each student's strengths and interests. Personally, this has helped me transform my skills to industry-readiness and make significant connections to important people in academia. -Ramakrishnan Srinivasan, Class of 2014 I’m working for Leido’s Biomedical Research Inc. as a bioinformatics analyst. I work in a group that provides NGS sequencing service for the National Cancer Institute. My job is to develop NGS data, i.e, Illumina Hiseq/Miseq data, analysis pipeline to perform data management, sequence QC, alignment, coverage analysis, and variant identification. We are using a lot of programming languages and tools that were introduced or taught to me when I was in the MS bioinformatics program at the School of Engineering. I feel lucky that I was given the opportunity to study in this program and l learned so many skills that have benefitted my career path. -Wen Luo, Class of 2011
- 22. TIMELINE • DNA Sequencing era begins in 1977. • Polymerase Chain Reaction 1985. • ABI markets the ABI 370, the first automated sequencer. • Genbank opens as repository for sequence data in 1982. • The Human Genome is published in 2001. • Next Generation Sequencing of Human genome is under a week at less than $5000 in 2013.
- 23. WHAT MAKES OUR PROGRAM UNIQUE? • Our focus is on application of skills to meet demands of the public and private sectors. • We provide sufficient theory so that the students understand how to best apply the tools at hand to manage large datasets. • Our motto is that we are not training students to be computer scientist or statisticians, but they must understand the fundamental concepts of each discipline.
- 24. JOB OPPORTUNITIES Global market research estimated a 26% growth between 2011-2013 for a an estimated $6.2 billion. In 2013, Roche made a takeover bid for the leading company in the sequence analysis machine business, Illumina, for $6.2 billion. It is fair to say that when you include Complete Genomics, Life Technologies, Roche-454, Ion Torrent, and Pacific Biosciences. Job opportunities for MS level Bioinformatics professional are abundant.
