Computing for Life Sciences
A top level postgraduate course to face the new challenges in the
bioinformatics sector industries and companies for those having completed a
Master's level life sciences programme. The exponential increase in Life
science research data has generated further requirements in terms of data
acquisition, storage, processing and communication.
The EBI Master of Business Engineering scientific programme in Computing
for Life Sciences is aimed at providing Biology students with all the necessary
data management tools.
With genome sequencing, bioinformatics enables the interpreting of the
genetic code (Genomics) and the creation of a three-dimensional protein
translation (Proteomics).
In Clinical Research, it serves to classify and interpret data used to
verify, monitor and validate the efficacy of a pharmaceutical. The development
and use of Data Management and Data Mining have increased the importance of IT
in the pharmaceutical sector.
Biostatistics tools, programming in several languages commonly used in
our sector companies and knowledge of networks, specific data exchange tools and
bioinformatics application software complete this training to fulfil the needs
of this market.
By combining this scientific programme with the
MBE common core syllabus classes during their 6 months’ training at EBI,
students are able to envision these problems from a project manager's viewpoint.
Our trained bioinformaticians develop software and graphic interfaces and
become data managers or biostatisticians in biotech companies, the
pharmaceutical industry, CRO (Contract Research Organisations), software houses
or public research laboratories.
