Systems Biology and Bioinformatics

Would you like to learn how scientists can combine mathematics, biology and data science to tackle human health challenges? The field of systems biology is at the heart of modern biology and health research. It is dedicated to understanding the dynamic interactions between all the components of a living system. Just think of the interplay between, for example, our genes, proteins, cells and their environment. Systems biology connects all these factors through modelling, simulating and predicting biological processes in both health and disease - or to personalise medicine. This programme provides you with the necessary knowledge about the cornerstones of this field of study: mathematics and biology. You'll learn to model biological systems in order to understand their functions, predict their behaviour and plan new, valuable experiments. Cutting-edge research in molecular imaging, neurobiology, cardiovascular diseases or cancer cannot be done without the aid of systems biologists. The programme will fully prepare you to take on your expert role in these exciting and important sectors, driving advances in human biology and health. Our mission is to train interdisciplinary scientists who have a broad view of biological systems, with a focus on: biomedical and human healthcare applications. Any questions?
