About Bioinformatics Foundation Course:

The fields of bioinformatics and computational biology involve the development and application of tools to make biological discoveries. Some people enter the field as a biologist who learns how to use the tools or as computer scientists/engineers who are able to build tools. A solid background in both biology and computer science is extremely helpful.
