The objective of the Master in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (M:BBC) is to train highly qualified professionals in the field of bioinformatics and computational biology, both from a theoretical and a practical perspective. The program is specifically designed to support students interested in developing their careers within the new approaches to the life sciences, namely biology and clinical medicine, by using, and eventually creating, computational algorithms, software tools, and databases to solve biological problems related to proteins, genes, genomes, and their interactions.
This knowledge can then be applied to concrete problems, such as the selective synthesis of proteins with industrial value, or the development of new molecular markers for disease diagnosis.
Graduates in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology develop excellent and highly attractive skills for employment in industry and research in the life sciences.
