Bioinformatics
The Department of Bioinformatics (BiGCaT) is part of NUTRIM (School of Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism) at Maastricht University.
It was founded in 2001 by Prof. Dr. Chris Evelo aiming at employing bioinformatics approaches in systems biology to integrate experimental data and data with current knowledge.
The department focuses on the development and application of Integrative Systems Biology approaches in various research fields.

- Many diseases are complex, their polygenic nature combined with gene-environment interactions leads to a situation where single omics are insufficient to both understand the biology and to make reliable diagnostic or prognostic predictions. This course will cover advanced multi-omics screening technologies and look at how we use cutting edge data science to make sense of our measurements and bring explainability to our predictions, which will ultimately lead to hypothesis generation and furthering biological understanding.
