Overview

However, there is a serious shortage of well-trained people who have the relevant skillset and hands-on experience in real world biomedical and cancer data.

Cancer Genomics and Data Science programme is offered at Queen Mary University of London is designed and delivered by world-class experts in genomics and data science, who actively develop and apply computational tools to answer research questions

Career paths

You’ll leave this programme with competence in state-of-the-art analytic workflows and hands-on experience of a wide range of real-life cancer and medical data, so that you will be ready to meet research and industry needs after graduation.There is high demand for well-trained bioinformaticians and computational biologists to manage, analyse, integrate and visualise “big data”, both in academia and industry. Bioinformatics and data science skills are highly transferable, allowing skilled individuals to move to other sectors, such as data analytics, software development and quantitative finance.We anticipate that graduates from this programme are likely to move into roles such as:

Bioinformatician

Data analyst

Computational biologist

Researcher

In both academia and industry, including large pharmaceutical companies, small and medium-sized enterprises, and start-ups.
