School : Program of Bioinformatics

Course Description :

Theoretical investigation and problem identification of a special project in Bioinformatics under the supervision of an academic member. The project is an application of biological and computational techniques studied. The student should use biological databases in different aspects of bioinformatics for the purpose of classification, prediction, identification of genes, analysis of metabolic pathways, analysis of protein structures, visualization of 3D structures, mining of data, establishment of expert systems for analysis of diseases and cancer. An implementation of web servers is an asset. Detailed report as well as an oral examination are required.
