Overview

We offer a Computational Life Sciences degree at the Utrecht University. In modern biology bioinformatics plays an essential role in analysing data and modelling is required to help us understand these intricate biological systems.

Features

Thus, a major challenge in the next decades is to extract useful information from vast amounts of biological data and to develop computational models to investigate the complex dynamics of living organisms.
