Overview
The Bioinformatics programme from Lund University trains students from different fields in the computational analysis of biological data. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that develops methods and software tools for understanding biological data. It combines biology, computer science and statistics to analyze this data.
New technologies in genomics and proteomics have revolutionized modern research in biology and medicine during the past decade. Scientific discovery now relies heavily on efficient handling and analysis of the enormous amount of data generated from wet lab experiments.
Career prospects
Graduates have a diverse set of employers to choose from, mainly in academia, but also in industry and in the medical sector. You can work as a bioinformatician, biostatistician, biocomputing specialist or in related positions. Previous graduates have found employment with Silicon Genetics and Novozymes, as well as in research groups including Harvard Medical School.
