- Description/content
- The MSc programme in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics connects objectives of biological and computational sciences. Core fields of the programme are bioinformatics and systems biology, meaning the analysis and modelling of data in molecular biology and biochemistry, in particular from genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. Computational methods will be supported via hands-on training in the wet lab. Graduates will have a strong biological background and will be able to understand and develop software for the handling and analysis of biological data.
