The 11-month course is aimed at introducing students to bioinformatics and other quantitative aspects of modern biology and medicine. It is intended both for those whose first degree is in biology, and for mathematicians, computer scientists and others wishing to learn about the subject in preparation for a PhD course or a career in industry.

The course director is Professor Simon Tavaré, who is a statistician with a distinguished record of research in computational biology. He divides his time between the Departments of Oncology and Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.

The course has been developed by the Cambridge Computational Biology Institute and is run by the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences.
