Master Programme in Bioinformatics, 120.0 ECTS credits
Bioinformatics is a broad subject in which biology, medicine, computer science and statistics intertwine. The basis for bioinformatics is the massive amount of biological sequence data derived from genomic studies and structural biology and stored in large databases. Computational biology also involves mathematical modelling of biological systems.
Special features of the programme:
- A combination of advanced research with training of current techniques, as well as the development of novel software tools
- Close connections to research in an international environment
- Proteomics, genomics and transcriptomics data will be analysed and combined to gain a global understanding of an organism or groups of organisms.
Career prospects
Graduates have a diverse set of employers to choose between, both in industry as bioinformatics or biocomputing specialists and in academia. Previous graduates have found employment with Silicon Genetics and Novozymes, as well as in research groups including at Harvard Medical School and in Developmental Biology at Lund University.
