Overview

OMICS technologies represent a relatively new field of research, describing the integration of various molecular biology methods ending in “-omics”.

In this programme, the focus is on genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Using large datasets, entire genomes, proteomes or metabolomes are analysed and evaluated.

OMICS technologies enable the simultaneous measurement of all molecules within a specific class in biological samples, providing a comprehensive picture of a biological system. OMICS analyses, for example, can identify biomarkers or molecular signatures indicative of existing or potential future illnesses.

Personalised medicine meets digital solutions

In biomedical research, particularly in the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in personalised medicine, OMICS data play a crucial role. These data enable more precise diagnoses and therapies tailored to the individual genetic profiles of patients. The OMICS research, therefore, drives scientific and technological innovations in personalised medicine.

Through early detection, prognosis, and disease monitoring, the care and treatment outcomes for patients can be enhanced, and potential side effects reduced. This more efficient use of resources represents a significant step towards sustainability in healthcare.

To decipher the vast amounts of generated biological data, known as multi-OMICS datasets, new digital solutions are required. In this degree programme, you will learn how to leverage data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to interpret collected data meaningfully and draw valuable insights.
