The Master in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology focuses your interest in the research, development or application of computational tools that will allow you to analyze biological data in areas such as biology, medicine, agriculture, among others, focusing on the acquisition, storage, organization and visualization of these data. In addition, you will be able to deepen in the development and application of analytical data, mathematical models, computational simulation techniques and theoretical methods for the study of biological, behavioral and social systems.
Aware of the development of Biotechnology, the Master's program is designed to support your process in the search and discovery of molecules, genes or active ingredients that are present in our biodiversity, so that, through Biotechnology, you can support their industrial production without having to resort to unsustainable extractive use.
The Master's degree in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology focuses on the development of research that contributes to increase scientific knowledge and its dissemination, in the study of biodiversity and resources and in the research lines of analysis and development of software for big data in biological sciences, computational modeling and computational genomics and computational techniques.
To achieve this objective, the Master's program will allow you to promote alternative solutions to problems associated with biotechnology-based companies, scientific institutions and academic communities at the national level, providing you with training bases, for this, you will acquire knowledge to model, systematize, simulate processes, interpret-analyze information and formulate research projects from information obtained from biological organisms and biodiverse systems, which can be applied to the medical, agro-industrial, pharmaceutical, and other sectors.
The Master's Degree is a novel bet of the articulation of four universities in Manizales, thanks to the support of SUMA and organizations such as the Luker Foundation and the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology of Colombia, BIOS.
