Genome Based Systems Biology
FsB vom 02.03.2020 mit Änderung vom 21.03.2023
Systems biology is an innovative interdisciplinary research field that is continuously evolving. Its aim is to understand and map the dynamic processes in a cell, an organ or an organism. In the bilingual Master's program "Genome Based Systems Biology" exactly this approach is pursued. Due to the rapid progress regarding new high-throughput methods in biological and medical research, those interested in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics can collect extensive data. Its analysis and the linking of the individual levels pave the way for theoretical approaches and computer-based models that simulate biological processes.
At Bielefeld University students in this very broadly based course of study take a hands-on approach to data acquisition by learning a wide range of experimental methods in small groups and training in the operation of complex equipment. In addition, they deepen their basic biological knowledge and acquire the bioinformatic and mathematical skills that enable them to understand and analyze the complex data sets and to set up suitable models.
In the second year students decide for themselves, according to their interests, whether their focus is more on theoretical work on the computer or in the laboratory. There is also the possibility to complete projects and theses in cooperation with external academic institutions, research departments in hospitals and companies. When working on current research topics, students experience "good laboratory practice" and can also try their hand at project management. In this way they are ideally prepared for a subsequent doctorate and/or professional activities, for example in the fields of biotechnology, medicine, agriculture, pharmacy or bioinformatics.
