Bioinformatics University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague

Overview

Bioinformatics deals with the development of tools for the management of biological databases, algorithms for the processing of molecular-biological data and methods for the analysis and interpretation of relationships in these data. 

Most of the projects are biologically oriented with the aim to understand the complex context in the studied biological phenomena. However, we also run IT-oriented topics that include the development of algorithms or data processing methods.

Careers after the Bioinformatics course at the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague: 

• The combination of the education in natural sciences and informatics qualifies graduates to work in interdisciplinary teams. Graduates will find employment in a wide range of areas where data obtained by instrumental analysis of biological samples are processed. Graduates can also rely on a broad knowledge of informatics and can be successful in the development of software technologies, especially for data analytics.
• Graduates will further find employment in scientific infrastructures built in the Czech Republic within the framework of European operational programs. Due to the persisting lack of experts with an interdisciplinary education, graduates will also be easily employable outside the Czech Republic.
• Typical positions that DSP Bioinformatics graduate can hold: - researcher in basic or applied research in the public or private sector in the fields of biomedicine, clinical medicine, medical and pharmaceutical chemistry, food, agriculture, biotechnology or forensic science.
