M.Sc Genomics and Proteomics

Master of Science in Genomics and Proteomics

M.Sc Genomics and Proteomics or Master of Science in Genomics and Proteomics is a Post-Graduate Biomedical Engineering course. The Master of Science programme in Genomics and Proteomics aims to enhance awareness and understanding of modern molecular biology concepts and techniques including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, metabolomics and systems biology, and to translate theoretical knowledge gained from the programme into the practical experience via intensive laboratory research projects that will be particularly applicable to industry.

The Master of Science programme in Genomics and Proteomics provides a platform, orientation and competence for them to carry out their doctoral research work in the focused area of ‘Disease Diagnostics and Therapeutics’. The Master of Science programme in Genomics and Proteomics includes intensive efforts to determine the entire DNA sequence of organisms and fine-scale genetic mapping efforts. The Master of Science programme in Genomics and Proteomics also includes studies of intragenomic phenomena such as heterosis, epistasis, pleiotropy and other interactions between loci and alleles within the genome.
