UCT -MS -Integrative Biomedical Sciences (IBMS)

The Department of Integrative Biomedical Sciences is based on the historic pre-clinical divisions of Medical Biochemistry and Computational Biology. It provides the foundation teaching and training in basic biochemical sciences and computational biology to undergraduate students in the Faculty and will build capacity in scarce skills in South Africa including bioinformatics and large data analysis, as well as in integrative and multidisciplinary molecular sciences.
It has current strengths both in undergraduate teaching, as well post-graduate training and research; and a strong National and African footprint in capacity development, education, and service.
The Department of Integrative Biomedical Sciences comprises three divisions:

  • Chemical and Systems Biology
  • Computational Biology
  • Medical Biochemistry and Structural Biology
