Cell Biology

CIB-005

Quantitative and Computational Biology

Courses offered within this module will teach and deepen selected topics from and relevant to the computational life sciences. Individual courses focus on sequence bioinformatics, structural bioinformatics, integrative bioinformatics, systems biology, data handling and analysis, statistics, or other relevant topics in the area of computational biology and bioinformatics. The focus of accompanying tutorials is to learn to implement algorithms of theoretical models and to analyze large life science data sets.

Students will

  • acquire theoretical knowledge, algorithmic and practical skills about computational biology concepts and methods that enable them to abstract and to model selected problems in the life science domain and to solve them in a data-driven way.

  • become familiar with implementing programs or writing scripts.
