Bio Data Science

The economic benefit of combining bioanalytics and bioinformatics for data generation and data analysis is no longer a vision of the future.
 

There is a wide field of possibilities for discovering new contexts and thus contributing to the understanding of the "Big Picture". This requires interdisciplinary know-how, the best possible technical equipment and a pool of competent scientists.

With the new extra-occupational master program "Bio Data Science" in Tulln you learn to manage the growing flood of data in the laboratory, from genomics to metabolomics, from sampling to interpretation of the data.

The University of Applied Sciences has six laboratories for bioanalytical data generation and the corresponding hardware and software for data evaluation, including state-of-the-art equipment for the various omics areas. These are used for research and commissioned analyses as well as for teaching.

Bio Data Science: Course Content

Organisational Form

Per Semester
 

• Mondays and Wednesdays (17:30 - 21:00)
• 7 Fridays starting at 14:00 and 7 Saturdays (full-time)
• 5 additional lab days (working days)

Distance learning and blended learning, as well as the interactive design of courses with modern didactic methods, lead to effective knowledge transfer and high learning efficiency.

In the 3rd semester in the context of a case study, an experiment focused on current research topics (e.g. in the fields of metabolomics or metagenomics) is planned and performed.

Within the Research Proposal, a scientific question for the Master's Thesis is independently derived and discussed - the final step in optimally preparing for the Master's Thesis in the 4th semester.

The Master´s Thesis can also be carried out at an employer for suitable subject-specific topics.

Bio Data Science: Special Features

The study program "Bio Data Science" takes place in Tulln for good reason. Numerous research groups are settled here: Institutes of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) or the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) as well as companies working in the areas of proteomics, genomics and metabolomics.

Apart from bioanalytics, data analysis and bioinformatics have become increasingly important and thus interdisciplinary networking has been brought into focus. In total, more than 900 people are currently working on Campus Tulln. Their work has resulted in numerous developments and patents, showing how successful a cooperation between industry and research can be.

Students benefit directly from this lively network on campus and can thus enrich their own professional environment. The University of Applied Sciences has developed high competence in bioanalytical R & D areas such as mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, bio-chip technology and expression systems; these topics are directly integrated into lectures and exercises. Working together with data analysis and bioinformatics experts from the different omics disciplines makes our study program innovative and unique in Austria.
