About Program
The Bioinformatics diploma is not only about understanding and analyzing biological data in an efficient manner, but also developing tools for intensive data analysis. Since the data is generated in huge amounts by the rapidly developing next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, it is necessary to carefully apply and regularly develop efficient data storage, retrieval and analysis techniques.
Mission
To develop tools for intensive data analysis and to equip knowledge seekers with the experience and technicality to analyze and interpret biological data on an open-source Linux-based environment through either using existing tools or developing your own specific tools in an efficient way, aiming to fulfill both research and market demands.
Skills
The set of skills that Bioinformatics Diploma students will acquire are the following:
- Dealing with different formats of biological data and designing the required analysis workflows that can answer various biological questions efficiently.
- Programming (Python and R) that are required extensively in the analysis of biological data.
