Students
The Graduate Program in Bioinformatics was approved by the Regents of the University of Minnesota on February 8, 2002. Since that time, the following students have submitted a Degree Program Form that includes a Graduate Minor in Bioinformatics. All have agreed to have their names listed here. If not parenthesized, the date is the month and year the Degree Program Form was approved by the Graduate School. If the date is in parentheses, the Degree Program Form has not yet been approved, and the date is the month and year when it was signed by the Bioinformatics DGS. * = degree awarded; # = dropped minor.
