Description:
Field of study: Biotechnology
Specialization: Bionformatics
Bionformatics constitutes an interdisciplinary research area covering applications of computer science, chemistry and biotechnology to solve biological problems, usually on the molecural level. Typical activities include analysis of information contained in genetic and structural databases, prediction of protein structure, drug and biocatalyst or biosensor design. The combination of computional skills and basic knowledge of biotechnology aimes to prepare graduates for work in research, medical laboratories, quality control or food industry or for manufacturing chemical software or databases.
