Beyond Bench Science

A typical biomedical lab features equipment like microscopes, centrifuges, flow cytometers (to measure particles or cell populations), sequencers, freezers and assorted flasks, cylinders, burners and pipettes. These labs and tools are the bedrock of biology.

But rapidly emerging and growing bases of knowledge (such as multi-omics), combined with  evolving technologies like cryo-electron microscopy are pushing boundaries, opening new vistas of investigation that require new ways to absorb, analyze and act upon the unprecedented explosion of Big Data. 

This is the era of data science in the life sciences, of experts in computational biology, chemoinformatics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more who can find, decipher and organize massive amounts of information in ways that help colleagues advance discoveries to the next phase or step. 

This is the work of computational biologists, geneticists, statisticians and artificial intelligence engineers at Sanford Burnham Prebys, who seek answers that might someday change the life of a patient or change the world.
