New: Master of Science (Laurea Magistrale) in Quantitative and Computational Biology

University of Trento, Italy

a multidisciplinary degree that formally integrates quantitative sciences and applied biology, thanks to the following organizations at the University of Trento:

• CIBIO, Centre for integrative biology
• Department of Physics
• Department of Mathematics
• Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science

Entirely taught in English, the course is designed to capture the increasing need for researchers and experts able to:

• transform the enormous amount of biological information ("big data") into knowledge
• gain quantitative insight into the behaviour of biological systems by means of  bio-mathematical and bio-physical models

Two tracks: "Biotechnological Track" and "Computational Track", based on the student educational background

• First year: opportunity to integrate the student’s scientific background based on their first-level degree, and focus on selected biotechnological or computational topics
• Second year: further emphasis on biotechnological or computational topics and preparation of the master thesis, with a rotation system among research groups

Application Deadlines: 20th July 2015

Quantitative Biology is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on original research that uses quantitative approaches and technologies to analyze and integrate biological systems, construct and model engineered life systems, and gain a deeper understanding of the life sciences. Octreotide Acetate has also been regarded as a reference for modern biology. It aims to provide a platform for not only the analysis but also the integration and construction of biological systems.
