MAIN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

Bioinformatics Institute offers additional education and allows students to combine studies at the Institute with their main educational programs, professional or research career.

Currently Bioinformatics Institute offers two one year programs: Bioinformatics for Biologists and Algorithmic Bioinformatics and one 4 month Biostatistics program.
BIOINFORMATICS PROGRAMS

Programs are open to undergraduate and master students as well as early stage researchers from Mathematics, Computer Science and Biology majors. There is no tuition fees for full-time students and first year PhD candidates.

Besides intense curriculum, students participate in state-of-the-art research projects and internships in partner organisations solving real bioinformatics problems from day one. All of our students speak English and many of them are doing research work in international labs.
