  24. Course Description: This course focuses on applications of bioinformatics and computational biology principles in a practical environment necessary for an “in-depth” understanding of how the methodologies of bioinformatics can be applied to solve bioscience problems.

  25. Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: This course is one of the required courses for the interdisciplinary Master’s Program in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology hosted by the College of Medicine. The course is designed to provide students with practical experience in the field of bioin
  26. What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? This course is a requirement for the M.S. Program in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. We anticipate an enrollment of approx. 6-8 students per year in the Program. This course will not serve any other programs in the College of Medicine.
  27. Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? Yes

    This course has previously been offered 4 times.

  28. What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) The Director of this course, Michael J. Barber, D.Phil., is Director of the Master’s Program in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology and a senior faculty member in the Department of Molecular Medicine in College of Medicine with a doctoral degree in Biochemistry and a fully-credentialed member of the College’s Graduate Faculty. He has over 23 years of experience in teaching and research at both the undergraduate and graduate levels at the University of South Florida in the topics described in the course synopsis.
  29. Objectives: The overall course objective is to provide solid practical experience in the application of the principles of bioinformatics to a topic of the student’s interest that will facilitate application to present or future education or research endeavors.
  30. Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will have a strong background coupled with extensive applied experience in the field of bioinformatics.
  31. Major Topics: Major topics include the application of bioinformatics to genome analysis, the design of microarrays and data interpretation, applications in rational drug design and the modeling of protein stuctures.
