Course introduction
This course will introduce some new topics as well as follow up on some of the topics introduced in Bioinformatics I in greater detail. There will be an emphasis on the practical aspects of Bioinformatics that have relevance in the Biotech/Drug Discovery industry and which address new and current technologies to help prepare students for a career in this field.

Qualifications
Knowledge about current industrial technologies and trends as they relate to the bioinformatics area. Knowledge regarding the mathematical basis for the bioinformatics tools that are commonly used by researchers (e.g. alignment algorithms), as well as practical experience using some of these tools or using similar techniques. Knowledge and hands-on experience so that the student will be better prepared to enter the workforce as a bioinformatician.
