PhD in Bioinformatics

The recent and rapid development of genomics and proteomics has highlighted the crucial importance of developing new approaches and analytical methods to explore the massive amount of biological data generated. This development has therefore given rise to increasingly close collaboration between specialists in the life sciences and those in computer science. As much to meet the needs of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors as those of the academic environment as well as environmental issues, it has become essential to train specialists capable of integrating knowledge from the biosciences and computer science. The studies at the doctoral level aim at the integration of the student in the field of current research.
