CSE5BIO

2020

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This subject introduces artificial intelligence (AI) in bioinformatics and biomedicine. It covers complex biological analysis, the application of AI principles, and the integration of diverse biological content through different AI technologies. On completing this subject you will be able to understand and apply AI techniques such as data modelling, machine learning, deep learning, statistical methods and data mining in Bioinformatics and Biomedicines problems. They will also understand how AI in bioinformatics technologies can be applied to DNA,RNA and protein structure and folding problems, molecular interactions, drug discovery, digital health, genetics and metabolic pathways.
