The Biomedical Science PhD Program has two courses: Bioinformatics and Functional Biology. A summary of each can be found below.
Bioinformatics
The course in bioinformatics processes diverse information of diseases, genome, proteome, three-dimensional structures, the phenotypes of genetically engineered animals and genetic diseases. It teaches methods and technologies to link in organic manner diverse pieces of information, and has classes and conducts experiments and exercises in genome informatics, molecular structure informatics, proteome informatics, cell informatics and life system informatics.
Functional Biology
This course educates students in the understanding of the mechanisms of life system controls - from cells to the highly developed functions of individual living creatures - and recognizes diseases as a partial aberration of such controls. It offers classes and conducts experiments and exercises in the science of nerve function control, biological response control, cell tissue control, and biological system engineering.
