• Bioinformatics is a young, emerging subject that tries to use computer science methods to provide answers to questions in the life sciences. Without the use of modern computer technologies and mathematical models, it would no longer be possible today to analyze the novel and rapidly growing amounts of data that arise in research in all life sciences (biology, biochemistry, chemistry, pharmacy, medicine as well as bio and food technology). 
  • Bioinformatics methods, for example, were the key to the sequencing of the human genome, which has also received great public attention. In the meantime, new, further questions have come to the fore. Researchers want to see what functions genes have, how they interact and how they are regulated, and hope for significant impulses for medicine, pharmaceutical research and biology.
