Clinical bioinformatics is an area of healthcare science responsible for developing and improving methods for acquiring, storing, organising and analysing biological data that supports the delivery of patient care. ... clinical bioinformatics (genomics) clinical bioinformatics (health informatics)A role in clinical bioinformatics is a great choice if you're interested in both biology and computer science. You'll be supporting the delivery of excellent patient care by developing ways to collect, organise and analyse biological data.
Clinical bioinformaticians in genomics apply resources such as databases and online tools to problems in genetics and genomics, using skills in programming and data analysis.
They provide support to ensure data received and generated by the laboratory is used in an efficient, standardised, secure and accurate manner, using leading edge technologies and adhering to information governance standards. Clinical bioinformaticians in genomics are also involved in service development, which may include designing databases, generating programs to automate analysis, or creating next generation sequencing pipelines.
Clinical bioinformaticians working in health informatics work as part of a multidisciplinary team to provide bioinformatics support across the sub-disciplines. They use leading edge technologies to ensure data received and generated is interpreted and used in an efficient, standardised, secure and accurate manner.
