    Understanding bioinformatics

    When Catherine Putonti, PhD, joined Loyola’s faculty in 2007, she would constantly have to explain what bioinformatics was to recruit potential students. But as the program has become more popular over the past few years, she’s noticed a change. Now, students are coming to her already familiar with the field. And for Putonti, that’s been a pleasant surprise.
