Opleiding: MSc Biomedical Modelling and Informatics
Learning purpose
Where the significant advances in biomedical science intersect with those in information technology there is an opportunity to seize improvements for human health and wellbeing. The Biomedical Modelling and Informatics masters aims to capture developments in both fields to create a new kind of professional - one that has a sophisticated skillset across software engineering, informatics and biological and molecular science.
Programme
Year 1
- - Data Analysis (30 Credits) - Compulsory
- This course will provide an overview of data analysis concepts by employing stat-of-the-art computer information technology such as grid computing in medical and healthcare informatics. These core concepts will be further explored from theory to application on medical imaging analysis and management rooted in the practical problems of clinical practice. Since the programme is highly interdisciplinary data from other modules in the programme will be applied in this module
- - Molecular and Cellular Biology (30 Credits) - Compulsory
- The module aims to provide an introduction to the study of cells including the structures processes, and communication within and between cells. The module will focus on nucleic acids and protein synthesis. It also concentrates on the patterns of inheritance of disease in humans. In addition it will provide instruction, skills development and hands-on experience in the application of current molecular techniques.
- - Research Methods and Ethics for Biomedical Sciences (30 Credits) - Compulsory
- The module aims to provide a firm foundation in risk assessment, experimental design, analysis and analytical techniquies. It prepares students for laboratory work and research projects by covering areas of laboratory safety and common techniquies. The learning will be supported by ethical issues relating to biomedical science research by exploring the use of human tissues, manipulation of genetic material, genetic testing and cloning.
- - Research Project (60 Credits) - Compulsory
- The module aims to develop student s skills in planning and execution of an analytical study and critical evaluation of real research results drawing on their acquired knowledge from other modules. In addition, the module aims to develop student s communication skills to enable them to communicate their findings in written and oral form. This module is where the interdisciplinary nature of the programme is demonstrated
- - System Modelling and Simulation (30 Credits) - Compulsory
