Bioinformatics faculty members are actively engaged in high quality research. They typically involve undergraduate students in the research projects and mentor them to present their accomplishments at national as well as international conferences. Many of our bioinformatics students have won awards and co-authored publications in international peer-reviewed journals for the research that they have performed with Ramapo College faculty members

Many students engage in research to earn credits by enrolling into the TAS Research Honors Program. Students complete a two semester sequence of independent research with a faculty member and at the end of the year present their findings in several research conferences inside as well as outside the college. Students also write an in depth, journal quality research paper on their project.

Our students are also are highly encouraged to seek off-campus training opportunities in the form of research internships and co-ops in the academia and industry.

A Ramapo bioinformatics research student won First runner up prize for her summer research at Cornell University, NY. Her research involved assembling the genome and identifying genes of a beneficial fungus Glomus versiforme which can help reduce the use of phosphorus fertilizers.	A Ramapo bioinformatics research student won the Best Paper Award at International BAASANA conference (business and applied sciences academy of North America). Her paper was titled "Advancing Biotechnology Rate of Adoption: A Diffusion Theory Approach".
