Biotechnology and Bioinformatics: Graduate Student Open House
Join us for an evening with faculty and students at Northeastern University in Oakland, designed for anyone exploring or already joining our MS in Biotechnology and MS in Bioinformatics programs.
You’ll hear from a panel of College of Science faculty about the biotechnology and bioinformatics landscape here in the Bay Area. They’ll talk about the industry’s major focus areas, how Northeastern prepares students for these specializations locally, and where they see the most growth potential over the next five years.
The conversation will also cover how AI and other advances are reshaping the field, and the tools and skill sets that help students become competitive candidates. You’ll have the chance to ask your own questions during the panel discussion.
Afterward, you’ll have time to meet and mingle with faculty, current students, and other incoming and prospective students over light refreshments. We’re excited to invite you to connect with our community as you consider your next step or get ready to start your studies.
This event is in person at the Oakland campus.
