特点

生物信息学研究是生物/医学科学与数学/计算机科学/工程学的交叉学科。生物信息学选修课程旨在培养学生成为该跨学科领域的研究人员,内容包括实验设计策略的开发、数据集分析工具的构建、建模技术的应用、生物信息学数据处理工具的创建、生物数据库的整合,以及算法和统计学的运用。
Bioinformatics research lies at the intersection of biological/medical sciences and mathematics/computer science/engineering. The intention of the Bioinformatics option is to train students to become researchers in this interdisciplinary field. This includes the development of strategies for experimental design, the construction of tools to analyze datasets, the application of modelling techniques, the creation of tools for manipulating bioinformatics data, the integration of biological databases, and the use of algorithms and statistics.

课程设置介绍:
The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Computer Science; Bioinformatics provides training in this
interdisciplinary field, which lies at the intersection of biological/medical sciences and mathematics/computer science/engineering. The program includes the development of strategies for experimental design, the construction of tools to analyze datasets, the application of modelling techniques, the creation of tools for manipulating bioinformatics data, the integration of biological databases, and the use of algorithms, artificial intelligence, and statistics. The thesis must focus on bioinformatics in relation to computer science.
