  1. COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGIST DR. MARTIN TOMPA Place of Employment: University of Washington Type of Work: Develops computer programs and algorithms to identify motifs (or patterns, such as genes, gene regions, and promoters) in alignments of DNA and protein sequences, as well as entire genomes. “Get a good background in biology, math, and computer science. These all play an important role in bioinformatics.”

  2. CAREERS IN SPOTLIGHT:COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGIST What do they do? Computational biologists develop and apply computer methods and mathematical models to study complex biological, behavioral, and social systems -- such as making sense of all of the genomic data being generated by scientists around the world. What kind of training is involved? A PhD in computer science or a related subject is required for most computer and information research scientist jobs. What is a typical salary for a Research Scientist? Ranges with experience. A senior professor might expect to make about $150,000 or more a year.

  3. This program is made possible by National Science Foundation Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers grant award from the National Science Foundation, DRL-0833779
