Biomodeling

30 ECTS points (one semester) chosen among

Coordinator: Erik Fransén

Brief content: In the Biomodeling stream you learn how to set up a biochemical or biophysical model representing for instance a set of biochemical reactions within a cell or the interaction between model nerve cells in a brain region. You learn how to use state of the art numerical methods to simulate the models, as well as how these are run on standard PCs as well as parallel super computers like the IBM Blue Gene at our department.

 

Bioinformatics

30 ECTS points (one semester) chosen among

Coordinator: Jens Lagergren

Brief content:In the Bioinformatics stream you learn how to use and further develop basic algorithms in bioinformatics, and how to handle main genomic databases (sequences, interactions, microarray data, proteomics data, etc). You can also choose to go further into algorithmic design, other topics in computer science, comparative genomics, statistics, optimization, or the experimental side of genomics.

 

Biotech and entrepreneurship

30 ECTS points (one semester) chosen among

Coordinator: Alf Rehn

Brief content: The Biotech and entrepreneurship stream prepares you for utilizing your professional know-how in entrepreneurial environments, including but not limited to self-sustained industrial projects and biotech start-ups. The courses will give you both hands- on knowledge on how to start your own company or other endeavors, as well as a better understanding for how the commercial aspects of biotech can be understood. You will learn not only how to turn a scientific insight into a feasible business idea, but also how to combine knowledge sets from different spheres and thus enrich and develop your professional profile.
