The University of Rome, also known as the University of Rome I or Rome I, the University of Rome Wisdom, known as Sapienza Universita di Rome in Italian, was founded in 1303 by Pope Boire VIII. Roma I is the largest public university in Italy and the third largest in Europe. The University of Rome has 11 faculties, 58 departments, 1 Institute for Advanced Studies, 1 Institute of Aerospace Engineering, 48 libraries and 21 museums. Outstanding achievements in Classics, Archaeology, Physics and Astrophysics, as well as in the fields of Cultural Heritage, Social and Economic Sciences, Nanotechnology, Cells and Genetics**, Design and Aerospace.
The University of Rome has produced many outstanding figures, including 14 Nobel laureates, 10 popes, 55 cardinals, 11 Italian prime ministers, 10 heads of state and leaders, and 4 presidents of the European Parliament.

Bioinformatics (bioinformatics）
Lesson**: L-2
Language of instruction: English
Duration: 3 years (undergraduate).
Bioinformatics is a well-established discipline with recognized skills that are in demand in both domestic and international markets, both public and private. Bioinformatics has developed since the 90s with the sequencing of the genomes of model organisms, specifically the human genome, and has now been structurally incorporated into basic research in genetics, biochemistry and molecular biology, as well as more applicable research in the biomedical field, to the point that close peer-to-peer collaboration between biologists, doctors and data analysis specialists (bioinformatics) is required. It mainly involves::
Provides mathematical and statistical models that can be used to analyze and interpret biomolecular experimental data. The most relevant aspect is the need to integrate large amounts of data (big data) from extreme heterogeneous ** (omics "techniques") to identify the "key" elements behind specific biological processes of interest to physician biologists.
Develop computational models and methods for analyzing biological sequences and gene expression data (genome, transcriptome, proteome, epigenetic profile, post-transcriptional and post-translational modifications, protein genome mapping, genetic polymorphisms, RNA DNA editing, etc.) to determine phylogenetic-specific similarities and mutations, e.g., with personalized medical diagnoses and (tumors, vaccines, genetic diseases).
Organizations are equipped with integrated repositories of analytical platforms for better use and presentation of biomolecular data.
Analyze and analyze the structural and functional aspects of macromolecules and their interactions with ligands and drugs.
In this context, the "new alliance" between computer science (bioinformatics), biology, chemistry and medicine seems to be of great strategic importance to meet the challenges posed by the tremendous development of biomolecular technologies.

Direction of employment
Graduates will work as technical operators, researchers or scientific collaborators, analysts or managers in public or private biomedical research institutions, medical institutions, or industries in the biomedical pharmaceutical or biotechnology sectors.
The skills acquired will enable students to perform the following types of functions:
Design and management of complex computer systems for diagnostic and ** medical applications, for the management of clinical and bioinformatics databases, for the processing of medical and bioinformatics data in clinical decision support systems, computer centers in the field of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical, molecular biology, including health information systems and hospitals;
Supporting the scientific activities of research laboratories in the field of medical biology for inter-hospital and in-hospital bioinformatics, clinical and scientific applications, personalized medicine, and IT companies operating in the medical field. They are also used at the national and local levels in the agri-food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. (In this context, it is also important to remember that the Lazio region is the third biotech and pharmaceutical company in Italy, after Lombardy, that are increasingly using omics techniques, which require bioinformatics technicians for analysis and application.) ）
