The Master Degree in 'Bioinformatics for Computational Genomics' (BCG) , fully taught in English, aims to form graduates with adequate knowledge about:

  • the molecular basis of biological systems;
  • the structure and function of biological molecules and how they participate in cellular processes;
  • the technologies and platforms for the analysis of genomes;
  • the tools for bioinformatic and genomic analysis;
  • the statistical and computational methodologies for the analysis of biomolecular data.

The BCG degree therefore includes activities providing in-depth knowledge on: 

  1. the organization of information in the genome and the molecular and cellular processes at the basis of gene expression and its regulation;
  2. the experimental methods used for studying genes and their function in different model species, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic;
  3. the technologies employed in modern genomic research;
  4. methods and protocols of bioinformatic analysis in functional genomics studies;
  5. algorithmic, mathematical and statistical approaches underlying bioinformatic and genomic analysis tools;
  6. data-base technologies for the storage and organization of the data;
  7. modelling and analysis techniques employed in systems biology for the study of interactions in complex biological systems.

The program includes, as a fundamental step in the formation of the students, an internship in research laboratories either at the University of Milan or in other Italian or foreign research institutes. The research experience of the internship and its results will be described in a final written dissertation, to be discussed in front of a thesis committee.
