The Capstone Seminar provides the opportunity for students to integrate and synthesize scientific, behavioral, social, historical, cultural, ethical and moral concepts as they consider, through the use of case studies, the challenges posed by bioinformatics for our society. Among the questions considered are: the privacy of genetic information, the potential for exploitation of unique populations, the balance of health sciences progress and personal health management, the role of gender in applying research, the impact of current copyright law on bioinformatics development and the field's potential for conflict with traditional cultural and religious beliefs. Students will be asked to integrate theoretical and critical knowledge they have gained in courses and the abilities they have developed through their internships and previous work experience. Writing assignments, as appropriate to the discipline, are part of the course.
