Objectives

The objective of this master is to provide technological as well as biotechnological professionals with the necessary background for solving data analysis problems in biotechnology. The master carefully balances the biotechnological studies with the technical ones. The master is focused on the practical aspects of the problem and all courses have practices either on a wet lab or a computer.

Organization

The master is organized in 6 modules: 1 for student's background adaptation, 2 for biotechnology, 2 for data analysis, and 1 for bioinformatics. The adaptation module is aimed to complement during 7 weeks the student's background in the discipline (biology or computer science) that is not her major. Therefore, a student must follow either the biotechnological adaptation or the computational adaptation. The rest of the modules are taken by all students.
