Technological advances have revolutionized the study of biological systems, enabling acquisition of interrogation of datasets of unprecedented depth and complexity. Training the research and development workforce of the future must include a solid foundation in the theory, application, and data analyses pertaining to these analytical approaches. Students with this background will be better prepared for careers in research or research-related activities in academia, government, and private sectors, including as technologists who manage core facilities, as coordinators for field research programs, and as R&D and sales representatives for biotechnology corporations.
This certificate will enable students to accomplish the following:
- Acquire knowledge of the theoretical basis of field analytical techniques used to investigate biological systems.
- Apply knowledge of field analytical techniques to the generation of experimental data.
- Analyze and interpret biological data generated from field analytical techniques.
