Bioinformatics and Genome Research

Bioinformatics and genome research are two closely cooperating disciplines. The data on genomes or metabolic processes determined by genome research can only be processed with the support of bioinformatics in such a way that the hoped-for knowledge and insights can be gained from them.
Qualifications in bioinformatics and genome research are increasingly needed in medicine, biotechnology and research. The opportunity to combine bioinformatics with genome research is limited to a few universities in Germany. The interdisciplinary degree programme, which is based at the Faculty of Technology and the Faculty of Biology at Bielefeld University, enables bioinformaticians to appropriately evaluate the amounts of data generated in biology, chemistry, pharmacy and medicine and to develop and verify algorithmic analysis methods.
