Abstract

Bioinformatics, an interdisciplinary field combining biology, computer science, and information technology, is increasingly shaping the nursing profession. It offers powerful tools for improving patient care, advancing clinical research, and enabling personalized healthcare through data-driven decision-making. This article examines the integration of bioinformatics into nursing practice, tracing its historical roots from the Human Genome Project to its current applications in genomic medicine, precision healthcare, and population health. Nurses now play a critical role in interpreting genetic data, managing clinical decision support systems, and participating in research that incorporates large biological datasets. The benefits of bioinformatics in nursing include personalized care, improved treatment outcomes, and enhanced research capabilities. However, the field faces challenges, including gaps in education, resource limitations, and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration. As bioinformatics continues to evolve, nurses will increasingly rely on artificial intelligence and genomics to deliver personalized care, making it essential to integrate bioinformatics into nursing education and practice. This review highlights the transformative potential of bioinformatics in nursing and underscores the importance of ongoing education and ethical considerations as the field advances.

Keywords: Bioinformatics, Healthcare, Data-driven, biological data, computer science.
