Overview

The start of Biomedical Data Science degree will take place in the winter semester 2020 at Hannover Medical School (MHH) as leading institution as new program of the Hannover Biomedical Research School (HBRS).

Features

BIOMEDAS is directed to students who are interested in combining disciplinary knowledge with the skills of a data scientist and working at the interface of bioinformatics, medical informatics, databases, data mining, machine learning, applied mathematics, biomedical modelling and analysis of complex networks.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Joint data science projects between the different partners are further developed in different areas, which open up numerous opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange.

In particular, projects in the areas “Exploiting the potential of available biomedical and clinical data sources“, “Making use of biomedical data to realize personalized medicine”, “Understanding pathomechanisms through biomathematical modelling” and “Employing artificial intelligence to develop tailored diagnostic and treatment strategies” will be researched by BIOMEDAS students.

The PhD program applies a collaborative training principle involving supervisors from the individual partners.

Annual meetings with the thesis advisory committee and a combination of a core research project and individual courses form the basis of the training program.
