Overview

Genomics provides the theoretical and practical basis for applying IT, mathematical and statistical skills to the analysis of genomic data and of transcriptomic, proteomic and epigenomic data, the biology of systems and metagenomics, in prokaryotes, eukaryotes and humans.
Students will gain:
- thorough knowledge in genetics and molecular biology;
- strong competences in computer programming, biostatistics, multiscale modelling and computational simulations.
Successful graduates will have:
- advanced biocomputing skills for gene-bank data mining, annotation, and management;
- theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the analysis of biological communities, cell populations and complex systems.
- knowledge of the fundamentals of bioethics for the management of sensitive information.
