Master in Integrated Systems Biology

The Master in Integrated Systems Biology at the University of Luxembourg enables students to acquire a deeper knowledge of biosciences taking into account new technologies. This involves handling large amounts of data and thus bioinformatics and network analysis are essential elements in this modern education in biosciences. Systems Biology (an extension of Biochemistry and Physiology) wants to understand and model systems: individual cells, organs and whole organisms on the basis of their constituting molecules. It integrates established disciplines in Biosciences and renovates them for the challenges of the future.
