This program aims to form "genome data scientists", that is, graduates that will have an adequate knowledge about the molecular basis of biological systems; the structure and function of biological molecules and how they participate in cellular processes; the technologies and platforms for the analysis of genomes; the tools for bioinformatics and genomic analysis; and the statistical and computational methodologies for the analysis of biomolecular data.

The MSGDA program equips students for careers in genomic data analytics through coursework in human genetics, applied life sciences, and human genomics. Collaborate with genetic counselors and scientists, gaining hands-on experience with technologies shaping the future of medicine.

The past decade has seen enormous advances in molecular and biomedical technology resulting in an ‘omics’ revolution. Bioinformatics (health data science) covers the application of mathematics, statistics and computing (including AI and machine learning) to biological and clinical scenarios. Algorithms and software tools are used to understand and interpret patient-derived ‘Big Data’

This programme offers a strong foundation for understanding the evolutionary processes that shape the genomic variation of populations. You will learn to use DNA sequencing technologies and bioinformatics tools to handle large amounts of data, understand what drives the evolution of populations and species, and address questions in biodiversity conservation.

Today, genomics is essential to understand human diseases, plant and animal development, the evolution of species and their relationships with the environment. The aim of this master's degree is to train new professionals and researchers in genomics and genetics, and prepare them in specific areas of science and technology to face current challenges in these disciplines. The master's degree is focused on basic and applied research, genetics, evolution, development and biomedicine, in the broadest sense, and provides the training required to access third-cycle studies. It prepares students for professional practice in the new technologies of genetic analysis and genomics in particular. As a result, graduates will have opportunities as highly qualified staff in companies and institutions in which these types of analysis are increasing relevant, including hospitals, diagnostic centres, and analysis and genotyping companies.

Breakthroughs in genetics research are changing how we discover, diagnose, and treat disease. Individualized genomics is an emerging field filled with career opportunities in health care, education, biotech, and industry.
