Harvard University approaches Bioinformatics as a deeply interdisciplinary field integrated across several schools and departments rather than housed in a single unit. This structure within the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Harvard Medical School, and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health fosters rich collaboration, bringing together expertise from biology, computer science, statistics, and medicine. Students and researchers explore bioinformatics from diverse perspectives, tackling fundamental biological questions and developing cutting-edge computational tools. This distributed model allows for broad exploration of applications, spanning basic research, translational medicine, and public health, providing a vibrant environment for study and discovery in this essential area of modern science.
