3 Best Bioinformatics in Italy for 2025

The Master’s degree in Medical Bioinformatics prepares graduates for a career at the management and supervisory level in the design, development, maintenance, and management of information systems in medicine, biology, and health systems. In particular, this program will equip graduates with specific skills in the following areas: complex biomedical software in the field of scientific and technological innovation for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes; complex information systems for the management of clinical and bioinformatics databases; software for processing medical and biological data in clinical decision support systems; health information systems with heterogeneous and complex architectures; visual interfaces for bioinformatics. The program, which is entirely taught in English, provides a theoretical foundation and the methodological and technological multi- and inter-disciplinary knowledge to address issues related to the design, analysis, and development of intelligent systems in medical informatics and complex bioinformatics.

The programm aims to form graduates with a knowledge about the molecular basis of biological systems, the structure and function of biological molecules in the cellular processes, the technologies and platforms for the analysis of genomes, the tools for bioinformatic and genomic analysis, and the statistical and computational methodologies for the analysis of biomolecular data. The program includes an internship in research laboratories or foreign research institutes.

The programme aims to provide students with advanced skills in molecular biotechnology, computational biology, and bioinformatics, with a strong focus on the most advanced tools and approaches for the analysis of genomes, proteomes, and metabolomes. Entirely taught in English, the degree combines lecture-based courses with an experimental laboratory project leading to a dissertation to be chosen among projects offered by the University and other research institutes.
