At the University of Manchester, UK, we have over 15 years experience in
teaching a range of online courses in computational biology. These
courses are at Masters level, and are designed to enable those with a
background in the life sciences, computer science, mathematics or
related disciplines to update their skills, while remaining in the
workplace. The courses are also very suitable for home study, helping
you to keep in touch with a research environment while taking a career
break.
The distance MSc in Digital Biology includes the following modules :
Bioinformatics for transcriptomics
Bioinformatics for Systems Biology
Maths for metabolic modelling
Computational Systems Biology
The individual courses can be studied by anyone wishing to apply
computational methods in their research. Those wishing to progress to
the MSc will complete a supported research project. The topics chosen
for the research project can range from genomic analysis of
Streptococcus pneumoniae to modelling the response of the human
macrophage to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These, and other, examples of
current and completed research projects are listed here :
