Introduction
In the dynamic landscape of the life sciences, biobanking has emerged as an essential domain encompassing the collection, storage, and processing of biospecimens - whether human, animal, or plant tissues and fluids - to support research objectives. The effective management of biobanks, coupled with the sensitive handling of the complex data associated with them, is the cornerstone of modern healthcare and the quest for personalized medicine.
Offered by Université Côte d'Azur and designed by leading experts, the MSc in Biobanks and Complex Data Management covers key areas such as quality management, ethical considerations, bioinformatics, and data visualization. It is aimed at individuals who aspire to provide scalable biobanking services that meet regulatory standards.
On completion of this program, graduates will be well prepared for careers in public hospitals, private laboratories, research institutions, and healthcare-related organizations, and equipped to deal with the complexities of biobanking and complex data management, making significant contributions to healthcare and medical research.
