Curriculum Guidelines for Colleges & Universities

- Curriculum Task Force
The Curriculum Task Force of the ISCB Education Committee seeks to define curricular guidelines for those who train and educate bioinformaticians. Rapid advances in the life sciences and in related information technologies necessitate the ongoing refinement of bioinformatics educational programs in order to maintain their relevance. As the discipline of bioinformatics and computational biology expands and matures, it is important to characterize the elements that contribute to the success of professionals in this field. These individuals work in a wide variety of settings, including bioinformatics core facilities, biological and medical research laboratories, software development organizations, pharmaceutical and instrument development companies, and institutions that provide education, service, and training.
