About

The Bioinformatics And Systems Biology programme from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is highly interdisciplinary, combining knowledge from fields such as molecular biology, genetics, computer science, mathematics, and statistics.

Visit programme website for more information

Overview

In the   Bioinformatics And Systems Biology programme from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU)  you will learn to use computer-based methods and mathematical models to analyse the vast amounts of biological data produced using high-throughput methods. Examples of biological data include DNA and protein sequences, mRNA levels, lists of post-translational modifications, protein-protein interaction data, and metabolic pathway information. But patient histories and the scientific literature itself are also examples of data types that can be analysed using computer methods.

Although the focus is on computational analysis, it is important to have a solid understanding of the underlying molecular biology and the experimental methods used to generate the large volumes of data. Students will therefore have the opportunity to work both independently and with others in the laboratory, to ensure an even closer connection between data analysis and experimental work.

Career

Graduates with an MSc Eng in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology will typically end up working with biomedical research at universities or in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. In addition to working as a researcher, you might end up in a management position.
