Learning outcomes:

The qualification holder will be able to:

General competences:

  • ability to correctly apply basic knowledge in the field of scientific methods and laboratory techniques;
  • advanced skills for the application of methods of molecular and cellular biology and biophysics to research and solve complex biomedical problems and systems;
  • knowledge of genomics and proteomics methods and their application;
  • knowledge of information technology methodologies and paradigms for storage, analysis, synthesis and visualization of genomic and proteomic data;
  • competences for the design of health information systems in general and more specifically for the design of bioinformation systems;
  • integrating organizational skills to support successful business decisions;
  • use of scientific research methods for research in the field of bionformatics.

Students will be able to:
