Curriculum specialised in the analysis of data generated by the new 'omics' technologies
Bioinformatics is one of the scientific disciplines that has gained most prominence and projection in recent years, especially after the pandemic generated by COVID-19, thanks to the research, development and application of computer and computational tools to enable and improve the management of biological data.
As a recently created discipline, there is a growing demand for specialised professional profiles. This Master's Degree was created in response to this business need to train bioinformatics students who will lead the field in the future.
The main purpose of the degree is to offer students highly specialised, top-level training, both theoretical and applied, to effectively address the growing demand for computer scientists specialised in the management and analysis of clinical data and with the ability to generate computational models.
Training objectives
- To provide a detailed knowledge of the mathematical and statistical foundations of the models commonly used in the field of medical data science.
- To train students in the state-of-the-art programming tools used in data science, especially those used in omics techniques.
- To provide students with the specific knowledge, skills and competences to understand and design Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms.
- To be able to understand the existing technologies and tools for the acquisition, storage and processing of massive data in healthcare platforms.
- Know the main clinical applications where these data science and engineering techniques are being applied, with the aim of understanding the basic needs and being able to add value to this process.
- To be able to model biological systems computationally in order to obtain predictions and inferences at a theoretical level.
"Our Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is a benchmark in the comprehensive training of doctors, biomedical engineers and bioinformaticians, preparing them to face the challenges of a sector in constant evolution."
