Overview
With the advent of high-speed data processing technology (genome sequencing, RNA and protein expression, metabolomics), different fields in life sciences (pharmaceutical industry, hospitals, biotechnologies, agro-industry, environment and fundamental research) need researchers and engineers with sound knowledge in biology and the ability to treat and analyse large quantities of heterogeneous data.
Students in this M2 Genomics Informatics and Mathematics for Health and Environment program at Paris-Saclay University learn to:
- deal with new challenges brought about by the evolution and rapid development of high-speed data production technologies;
- master techniques associated with the analysis and modelling of biomedical data;
- be autonomous when managing application development projects in a variety of programming languages;
- propose innovative IT solutions;
- carry out the analyses and necessary developments to test new methods and hypotheses for the living.
