About the Master's program in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology


Goals

Bioinformatics and Systems Biology are emerging and challenging disciplines at the interface of Informatics (or Computer Science) and Life Sciences. Bioinformatics has been and still is a major trigger for the current developments in the fields of Bio-Engineering, Molecular Biology and Medicine. The M.Sc. in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology is a two year bilingual programme. It aims to provide a deeper understanding of Bioinformatics' methods and to broaden the students' knowledge in the fields of Biology and Computer Science. Students attend lectures, seminars and lab courses in Biology, Computer Science, Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, which they may select according to their background, language proficiency and their areas of interest.

Curriculum

The MSc. Programme in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology aims at qualifying students for research and application. To achieve this aim, students need to build a sound basis in formal techniques of computer science. In addition to the expertise acquired during computer science studies the computer scientist working in the field of bioinformatics is expected to be very familiar with the issues raised in the context of biology. Besides conveying and deepening the students' knowledge in computer science and biology, the programme therefore aims at integrating and combining these two disciplines. Thus, the main pillars of the Master's Programme are the areas of bioinformatics and systems biology. Compulsory courses cover a broad range of sub-areas which are an integral part of bioinformatics. A variety of elective courses allow the students to select their individual focuses.

This is a selection of courses offered in the Master's program:

• Bioinformatics
• Genomic Bioinformatics
• RNA Bioinformatics
• Simplified protein models
• Bioinformatics and molecular biology
• Applied systems biology
• Theoretic systems biology
• Artificial Intelligence
• Computer Architecture
• Theory of Algorithms
• Image Processing
• Machine Learning
• Molecular biology and genetics: genes and genomes
• Evolutionary biology / genetics
• Biochemistry
• Microbiology
• Cell biology
• Neurobiology and Biophysics
• Advanced genetics and molecular biology
• Advanced topics of evolutionary biology
