Abstract

Objective: To explore the advancements in bioinformatics within medical laboratories and assess its importance and application in graduate-level education. Methods: This study analyzes bioinformatics analysis papers in the medical laboratory field included in the CNKI database. Considering bioinformatics’ specificities and the educational requirements for graduate students in medical laboratories, the study examines bioinformatics’ significance and potential implementation strategies in graduate medical laboratory education. Results: The annual number of bioinformatics analysis papers in the medical laboratory field included in CNKI is consistently rising, covering a wide range of medical disciplines and research depths. Interdisciplinary integration represents the current trend in scientific and technological advancement. Ideal graduate students in medical laboratories are expected to possess solid foundational and clinical expertise, formulate pertinent scientific inquiries, and proficiently utilize bioinformatics techniques for analytical thinking, problem design, and resolution. Conclusion: Bioinformatics plays a pivotal role in medical laboratory research and scientific innovation. The integration of bioinformatics courses and problem-oriented teaching methodologies can enhance graduate student’s ability to apply bioinformatics in addressing medical challenges, aligning with the demands of the big data era and the cultivation of innovative talents.
