Study description

Bioinformatics, as an interdisciplinary field of science, integrates knowledge from biology, medicine and computer science. Through the use of advanced algorithms and computer systems, bioinformaticians are able to process vast amounts of biological data, which contributes to the understanding of complex biological processes. This, in turn, makes it possible to create more effective therapies, develop personalized medicine, develop new drugs and much more.

The dynamic development of the medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors in Poland and around the world is generating a growing demand for bioinformatics specialists. Bioinformaticians play a key role in conducting research at various "omics" levels, i.e. genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics, modeling of biomolecular structures. They are also involved in analyzing data from clinical trials, developing algorithms for DNA sequence analysis and creating advanced tools for data visualization and identification of disease biomarkers.

Why Choose Our Studios?

- Interdisciplinary Program: We combine knowledge from biology, chemistry, computer science and statistics to provide a comprehensive education. The curriculum covers a wide area of topics, ranging from an introduction to bioinformatics to version control systems and working in an Ubuntu Linux environment to programming in Python and R. Participants also learn containerization techniques, relational database management, and biostatistics and data visualization tools.

- Experienced Lecturers: Our staff are recognized experts and practitioners with both academic and entrepreneurial and startup experience. 

- Emerging Technologies: We teach the use of the latest tools and methods for data analysis, including programming in R, Python, and database management. The study also focuses on the practical application of bioinformatics in genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics.

- Practical Projects: We offer the opportunity to work on real-world projects, allowing you to gain practical experience and build your portfolio. Students will gain the skills necessary for NGS data analysis, biomolecular structure modeling and protein structure prediction. The program also covers advanced topics related to the management of data analysis processes and the use of machine learning in bioinformatics.

Who are the studies aimed at?

The postgraduate course in "Bioinformatics" is primarily aimed at graduates of natural sciences, such as biology, chemistry, biotechnology and others. Graduates of computer science and related disciplines can also apply, but these people should be prepared for the extra effort involved in learning selected biological and chemical concepts.

The degree program is designed for those who want to advance their careers in areas such as scientific research, biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry, modern disease diagnostics, as well as for IT professionals who want to specialize in biological data analysis.

Most issues will be presented from scratch. Materials with theoretical content and practical examples will be provided to participants. Each subject will be evaluated based on the credit of the project and the result of the final test. This will allow the audience to delve into solving real problems that a bioinformatician encounters on a daily basis. In addition, selected issues will be discussed in the form of prepared video materials. During the course of the course, students can count on the assistance of the instructor in the subject matter of the course and benefit from online consultations.

Due to its nature, field of study is also dedicated to those who appreciate asynchronous work. Virtually the entire program is carried out in the online formula, which is becoming increasingly popular, being nowadays an equal form of acquiring knowledge.

Meeting with managers of postgraduate programs

No one will tell you more about the studies offered by Centre for Postgraduate Studies than those who created them. We invite you to watch and listen to the interviews with the managers of the postgraduate and MBA programs (including the head of CKP Ms. Marta Godzisz), conducted by Ms. Aleksandra Szyr.
