Innovators in Bioinformatics

 

From scientists to databatical genome companies, innovators in bioninformatics have both started the trend of documenting the human genome and its faults, and holding global wide support in efforts to keep this research going.

NCBI

NCBI, or the National Center for Biotechnologyg Information is the main innovator in bioinformatics, as it offers the biggest genomic databases on the planet, and is based in Northern America.  NCBI also not only engages in its own research, it hands out grants to other scientists and facilites that want help with their research.

EBI

EBI, or the European Bioinformatics Institute, is essentially a clone to the NCBI, but based in the European continent.  EBI offers the same services as NCBI, such as sequencing DNA and training more and more people in the field of genomic research. (1)(1.1)

Duke University
Harvard-MIT

Duke university, known for its amazing academic excellence, is another innovator that provides tons of research, as well as training in the fields of bioinformatics.  Not only does it offer regular bachelorate programs, Duke University is one of the few that offers a  PhD program in Bioinformatics.

Out-ranking Duke university of course, is Harvard University, a world renowkned school.  Harvard utilizes the best scientists in the world to create specific and effective programs to train the future work force of Genomic mapping. (1)(1.1)

Scientists 

-have built large databases to share data

-helped create personalized medicines

-tracked and analyzed disease patterns

-programmed mapping algorithms                                (1)(1.1)
