Mastering Computational Biology

The Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis launches a new Master of Science program in “Computational Biology”.

This new masters, which has a strong international flavor, is aimed at attracting students from around the world, and will be taught in English by leading professors and researchers. According to Jacques Pouysségur, Director of Research at the CNRS, “This amazing explosion of new data requires new skills into data managing, informatics, imaging, physics, mathematic modeling, to integrate and resolve the multiple layers of the complexity of cellular and organismal networks.”

The goal of this program is to focus on the human being from different scientific perspectives, particularly understanding and modeling functional aspects or interpreting biomedical signals from various devices, and doing this at differing scales, from macro to micro-levels. The goal is to ensure that students achieve a high level of understanding of modeling and computing principles to enable them to meet the challenges and make the right technological choices for the tomorrow.

This initiative fits in with the planned Sophi@STIC campus, which is currently under construction, and which will bring together the Université de Nice-Sophia Antipolis, l’institut Eurecom and l’INRIA all on the same site. One of the main goals of this huge project is to enable all the players across a wide range of sectors to work together in order to advance medicine.
