生物信息学和系统生物学

Our MSc Bioinformatics and Systems Biology course looks at two
concepts that complement each other and reflect the skills currently
sought by employers in academia and industry.Bioinformatics is changing as high throughput biological data
collection becomes more systems-oriented, with employers seeking people
who can work across both disciplines.Enormous success has been achieved in bioinformatics, such as in
defining homologous families of sequences at the DNA, RNA and protein
levels. However, our appreciation of function is changing rapidly as
experimental analysis scales up to cellular and organismal viewpoints.At these levels, we are interested in the properties of a network
of interacting components as a system, as well as the components
themselves.Our MSc reflects these exciting developments, providing an
integrated programme taught by researchers at the forefront of fields
spanning bioinformatics, genomics and systems biology.You will gain theoretical and practical knowledge of methods to
analyse and interpret the data generated by modern biology. This
involves the appreciation of biochemistry and molecular biology,
together with IT and computer science techniques that will prepare you
for multidisciplinary careers in research.
