Overview

Core fields 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. Graduates of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics will have a strong biological background as well as being able to understand and develop software for the handling and analysis of biological data.

Overview

The master‘s programme from University of Göttingen comprises the subject areas "Algorithms in Bioinformatics“, „Biological Data Mining“, „Computational and Functional Gemonics“, "Evolutionary Bioinformatics and Phylogeny“, „Bayesian Statistics and Infomation Theory“ as well as „Machine Learning“.

Based on their previous education students attend basic courses in biology or informatics during the first semester and receive an overview of the different areas of application for bioinformatics. Computational methods are supported by practical trainings in the wet lab. Advanced courses will focus on how these methods are used to answer current biological questions.
