New and powerful techniques have been developed for determining the structures of biological molecules and manipulating biomolecular sequences which results in large amounts of data. Bioinformatics makes use of mathematical and computer science techniques to process this data so it can be used for further scientific advances. The Stevens Bioinformatics track is built on the foundations of chemical biology. Students elect CS 115 as an introduction to computing in the freshman year in place of CS 105. After the first two years in the Chemical Biology Program, the Bioinformatics student begins replacing certain electives with computer science courses. The Bioinformatics track concentrates on giving students the ability to contribute to building the software and analytical infrastructure of the field.
