Course Details

The Master program genome based system technology course gives access to a new interdisciplinary research field systems biology where molecular life science and modern physico-chemical techniques and mathematical-bioinformatic methods synergize.Systems biology comprises a lot of disciplines. In this field biology joins forces with e.g. bioinformatics mathematics and physics. The common target is to understand the functionality of cells organs or even complete organisms. With a Master degree in "Genome Based Systems Biology" you can e.g. work on biotechnological projects study diseases or investigate alternative forms of energy. You are well prepared for a career as well in science as in economy. This research oriented Master course with less than 18 students per academic year enables an intensive supervision and sufficient time to learn the use of complex instruments and evaluate and analyze complex data. This interdisciplinary Master course follows the tradition of Bielefeld University - communication and cooperation are therefore deeply embedded.Aim of systems biology is to establish computer-based models of processes in the living cell allowing to predict the performance of metabolic pathways cells organs or whole organisms under certain conditions.
