Wroclaw University of Science and Technology

MSc Em Bioinformática

Bioinformatics constitutes an interdisciplinary research area, covering applications of computer science, chemistry, and biochemistry to solve biological problems, usually on the molecular level. Typical activities include analysis of information contained in literature, genetic and structural databases, prediction of protein structure, drug, and biocatalyst, or biosensor design. The curriculum introduces programming skills necessary for automation of database searches and analysis of numerical and bioinformatics data, including analysis of new genome sequencing (NGS) results. The study programme includes advanced computer programming as well as specialised molecular biology techniques which are highly valued in the present job market.
