Bioinformatics combines the diverse world of the life sciences with the precision of computer science. It plays a crucial role in analysing and interpreting complex biological data.
A deep understanding of chemistry, biochemistry, biology, medicine, and pharmacology is necessary to develop innovative solutions that are both data-intensive and highly complex. Computer science provides the software tools required to turn these solutions into usable results.
Thanks to bioinformatics, far-reaching insights have been gained in recent years, particularly in the following areas:
Patenting algorithms and processes from the field of bioinformatics also presents certain challenges. Both German patent law and the European Patent Convention exclude the patenting of abstract algorithms. In diagnostics, legislation aims to grant treating physicians maximum freedom, which limits the patentability of diagnostic methods.
