Msc Mathematical Sciences For Biomedical Data And Biophysics

The human genome contains 3 billions nucleotides and this code is read by each of the 3.7 1013 cells present in our body to perform a plethora of molecular, cellular and physiological functions, many of which are impaired in disease states. This complexity is increasingly explored by biologists using high throughput technologies which produce an unprecedented amount of data. The analysis, interpretation, integration and usability of this exponentially growing information have consequently become major issues for biology and medicine in the XXIst centrury. Within this context, computational biology is a fast developing multidisciplinary approach that combines methodologies stemming from mathematics, physical sciences and computer sciences to address these new challenges and ultimately understand the complexity of biological systems and diseases.
