Often undertaken soon after graduating college, a master's degree is a path of study that allows students to further their education and gain valuable career skills in the field of their choice. Depending on one's career goals, a master's degree can be essential to demonstrating a high level of knowledge and experience in a given field.

 

What is a Master in Bioinformatics? Bioinformatics is the intersection of many different disciplines, most notably biology, math and engineering. The general purpose of this field is to utilize computer and statistical models in order to map and interpret biological data. Every program is unique, but all seek to produce successful researchers and scientists. As a result, coursework usually includes a fair amount of lab experience and intensive biological study. Students who are interested in enrolling in a bioinformatics program should be aware that many schools have a long list of prerequisite courses.

 

A Master in Bioinformatics is an advantageous degree because of the high level of specialization the curriculum involves. Students graduate as experts in the field and are fully ready to begin careers that would not be possible without the degree. Indeed, for many professions within the realm of biological research, a master's degree is absolutely essential.

 

When it comes to bioinformatics, programs can vary greatly in cost. By contacting schools on an individual basis, students can have all of their questions answered regarding registration fees and enrollment costs.

 

There are countless ways in which a graduate of a master's of bioinformatics can apply their degree in terms of careers. The varied curriculum and lab experience that most programs involve set graduates up to thrive as research biologists, bioengineers and operations researchers. Different programs often allow students to specialize within bioinformatics to focus on one of its many areas of study, such as networks analysis and genetics. By choosing to focus the degree in this way, a student gains valuable knowledge and experience that is specific to that particular branch of bioinformatics, and thereby builds a firm foundation for a career in that area.

Master in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology

 

Vast amounts of data have been collected through genomics initiatives. They provide a golden opportunity to research the secrets of life, to understand more of its complexities, to improve quality of life and to conquer major diseases. Converting this huge volume of data into real understanding is the basic challenge of Bioinformatics research.High-throughput methods like massively parallel sequencing and mass spectrometry generate more raw data than conventional computer models can handle efficiently. To process and analyse this data, computational techniques from Bioinformatics – such as sequence alignment, sequence assembly, biostatistics and machine learning – are required in order to make predictions about health outcome and to decide on a personalized treatment for the patient.Both Bioinformatics and Systems Biology are strongly interdisciplinary fields. This programme combines molecular and cell biology, computer science and mathematical modelling to integrate vast amounts of biological data into fundamental knowledge. You will develop a strong feel for scientific research and high levels of abstraction, and learn to combine the rapid developments in these fields.... [-]

Masters in Bioinformatics. Have you ever wondered where the word gut feeling comes from, or why stress induces abdominal discomfort? If so, this Master's programme may be of interest to you. Nutritional Molecular Medicine and Bioinformatics is a two-year international Master's programme based on PBL (Problem Based Learning) and designed to offer students scientific knowledge and competencies to understand the complex bidirectional signalling between the gut and the brain. It focuses on in-depth knowledge on how diet and nutrition, the intestinal microbes, the intestine and the brain interact, as well as: i) how this is related to aberrant function of the gut and the brain, ii) how this relates to clinical practice, and iii) how this can be elucidated by state-of-the-art clinical and experimental research. The programme also provides you with an understanding of: i) how cellular processes relate to organ functions, ii) how the (patho)physiology of gut-brain interactions relates to nutritional, microbiological, gastroenterological and neurobiological aspects (with a human and clinical perspective), and iii) how bioinformatics can be an important tool to reach that understanding. This knowledge is essential for the development of new strategies to diagnose, prevent and treat the often debilitating disorders related to gut and brain function. The programme is coordinated by and linked to the cross-disciplinary Nutrition Gut Brain Interactions Research Centre (http://www.oru.se/ngbi), which provides access to internationally leading researchers and human in vivo and ex vivo research facilities, both at the university and at the University Hospital, and at the same time a strong...
