Computational biology



Computational biology (CB) [Teaching Language: English]

Today, in biology, medicine and related fields, scientists need to be able to analyze their data, implement their ideas, and design new algorithms and software. The MSc in Computational Biology  trains students to apply computer science, applied mathematics and statistical techniques to address biological and medical problems. This new program from Nice Sophia Antipolis University is specially tailored for students interested in a truly interdisciplinary learning experience.

The scientific goal of this program is to focus on the human being from different perspectives (understanding and modeling functional aspects or interpreting biomedical signals for various devices) and at different scales (from macro-level to micro-level).

The aim of this program is to provide excellent academic or industrial career opportunities by offering high level coverage of modeling and computing principles that will enable the challenges to be met and make tomorrow's  technological choices in biological, medical computing domains. To achieve this, classes will be given by outstanding professors and researchers from research institutes in the campus: Nice Sophia Antipolis University/CNRS (I3S, IPMC, JAD, INLN) and INRIA.
