Advanced Postgraduate Program in Bioinformatics (APGP- BI)

21st Century biology has been flooded with huge amounts of biological data that has made computational methodologies in Life Sciences increasingly important in research. The challenge for Integrative Bioinformatics is to capture, model, integrate and analyze this data in a consistent way to provide new and deeper insights into complex biological systems.


This advanced postgraduate program aims to deliver students with a global view, knowledge and practical ability in tools and techniques of Integrative Bioinformatics. The program therefore offers core techniques and formalisms to every student, while allowing sufficient differentiation and choice in research projects and practical applications in the emerging field of Integrative Bioinformatics. It is concerned with integrating the parts of system to generate the model at various levels in order to have deeper insights into biological systems. The technical side of this program includes issues such as Programming, Algorithm Design, Data Storage and Mining Protocols, Integrating Databases, Systems Biology and Kinetic Modeling; but all the time intimately integrated with biological and genomics problems.
