    Professor Jean-Baptiste Cazier believes that big data can quickly turn into "big noise" when you aren't able to make sense of it.

    Professor Cazier is the Chair of Bioinformatics and Director of the cross-campus Centre for Computational Biology (CCB) at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom. He is also the programme director for the University's Online MSc Bioinformatics (https://bit.ly/3q8n2HI).

    According to Cazier, datasets from digital patient healthcare records are "data rich, but information poor." And in order to make sense of health data, we need more than just a multi-omics approach and the resulting biological data. "In a diverse society, health data must capture socioeconomic circumstances, environment, geography and ethnicity so medical discoveries can benefit all populations, across the globe."

    Originally trained in the quantitative discipline of mathematical modeling, Professor Cazier says that his life-long goal is to integrate all of his eclectic and ever expanding fields of interest. But his current efforts combine bioinformatics with social science research data, a field that is predominantly qualitative.

    "The University of Birmingham's strong emphasis on collaboration and interdisciplinarity provides the perfect institutional ecosystem," he says.

    Come learn interdisciplinarity with Professor Cazier by enrolling in the Online MSc Bioinformatics at the University of Birmingham. The university is now accepting Summer 2022 applications. Request more information (https://bit.ly/3q8n2HI) to find out how to apply.
