M.Sc. Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
The recent revolution in biological science was driven by technological advancements that allow for the generation of high-throughput data in fields like sequencing technology that allows for the generation of genome data for a millionth of the price it had before dawn of this century — or deep learning trained on phenotype data for species identification. All of these advancements necessitate the (i) development and (ii) application of bioinformatic tools that can handle such data quantity and complexity. Further, new statistical challenges are posed and data handling needs to be rethought. To meet these challenges in our Master program. The MSc program in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics connects objectives of biological and computational sciences. Core fields of the program 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 are supported by practical trainings in the wet lab. Graduates will have a strong biological background as well as being able to understand and develop software for the handling and analysis of biological data.
