    Physics Methods and Information Technologies in Biomedicine
    Physics methods involving laser radiation, X-ray apparatus, computed tomography, MRI, and methods and tools of nuclear medicine are now widely used in medicine for treatment and diagnosis. Complex electronic equipment – various types of accelerators, thermal imaging cameras, EEG devices – is becoming more popular. Advanced information technologies and high-performance computing systems enable efficient processing of multidimensional data. Consequently, knowledge in physics, mathematics, electronic, computer science and comprehensive understanding of medical tasks are required to provide research and healthcare institutions with qualified specialists.
    On the other hand, rapid growth of knowledge in such spheres as virology, bacteriology, immunology, oncology, genetic engineering, and genetic therapy is accompanied by increasing attention to the influence of the environment on human health. Biophysics, bioelectronics, and nanotechnologies provide great opportunities for developing new medicine, screening methods, and highly sensitive biosensors.
    The Master's Programme allows students to gain knowledge in modern physics, information technologies, and biomedicine and helps them to broaden their understanding and improve their professional skills in natural sciences.
