Employment prospect and employment direction of bioinformatics specialty

The employment prospect and direction of bioinformatics major are as follows:

1. scientific research institutions and universities: graduates majoring in biological sciences can engage in scientific research in scientific research institutions, universities, research centers and other scientific research institutions. These works can not only deeply explore the knowledge and problems in the field of biological sciences, but also promote academic progress.

2. Medicine and medical industry: Graduates majoring in biological sciences can engage in research and development, production and quality control in pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies and medical device companies. In addition, you can also engage in medical research, clinical trials and other medical-related work.

3. Agriculture and food industry: Graduates majoring in biological sciences can engage in agricultural production improvement, new variety cultivation and agricultural product quality inspection in agricultural science and technology enterprises, agricultural colleges and agricultural research institutions. In addition, the food industry also needs bioscience professionals to carry out food safety monitoring and quality control.

4. Environmental protection and ecological conservation: graduates majoring in biological sciences can choose to engage in environmental protection and ecological conservation in environmental protection departments, environmental research institutions and wildlife protection institutions. And is responsible for monitoring and studying biodiversity, ecosystem protection and restoration.

5. Scientific media and popular science education: graduates majoring in biological sciences can choose to engage in scientific media, scientific writing and popular science education. So as to spread biological science research and knowledge to the public and improve the public's scientific literacy and awareness.

Professional knowledge system of biological science:

1, general knowledge, in addition to the teaching content stipulated by the Ministry of Education, teaching the history and present situation of professional development. Humanities and social sciences, foreign languages, computer and information technology, physical education, art and other contents are determined by colleges and universities according to their school-running orientation and personnel training objectives.

2. Basic knowledge of disciplines The basic knowledge of disciplines mainly includes mathematics, physics and chemistry. Mathematics mainly includes basic knowledge such as calculus and ordinary differential equations. Physics mainly includes basic knowledge and experimental skills such as mechanics, heat, electromagnetism, optics and modern physics. Chemistry mainly includes basic knowledge and experimental skills such as inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry and organic chemistry.

The teaching content of mathematics, physics and chemistry should not be lower than the basic requirements of university courses formulated by the relevant course teaching steering Committee of the Ministry of Education. Colleges and universities can improve the teaching requirements of mathematics, physics (including experiments) and chemistry (including experiments) according to their own talent training orientation, and strengthen students' mathematical and physical foundation.

3, professional knowledge, biological science professional knowledge, including professional basic knowledge and professional knowledge. Professional basic knowledge includes animal biology (zoology), plant biology (botany) or core courses such as general biology, microbiology, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics and molecular biology. To train students to master the basic theory, knowledge and experimental skills of biological science.

Professional knowledge includes animal physiology, plant physiology, developmental biology, genomics, immunology, ecology, evolutionary biology, biostatistics, bioinformatics, biological science research methods and so on. Cultivate students' thinking ability and innovation ability to observe and analyze biological phenomena and explore their internal laws.

4. The main practical teaching links (comprehensive practical education) mainly include professional basic experiments, professional experiments, internships, scientific research training, graduation thesis (design) and so on.
