Guest obbecman Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 We've all seen the slump in the computing sector in the past few years, and yet there are still several sectors whoes IT demands have not been met fully. The best example of which is Life sciences. Although, many research and phramaceutical organisations utilise computing technologies for advanced research managment rather than just word processing and checking e-mails, more organisations are calling for more IT products for the life sciences. Most of the big names, including IBM, SGI and HP and many more, have already started focusing on the Life science sector and see it as a great opportunity for investment. What I find confusing is that Universities haven't picked up on this importnat development. Few of them teach Bioinformatics as a post-graduate degree. But there are so many other fields, beyond Bioinformatics or just business computing...etc that they should explore and teach, which I think will create better career prospects. It's quite shocking to see many professionals that are totally unaware of this TES (http://www.obbec.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbp6 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 My school teaches computational biology. It's a lot like bioinformatices except more math and less CS. NJIT #1 underated school in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiral_ju00 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Nice idea, and since the current market is saturated with programmers, network engineers and other techies, this(assuming more schools pick up on it) will do good to both the IT industry and Science.
