Daniela Bezdan has an extensive education history in the field of genomics, bioinformatics, and molecular biology. Daniela began their academic journey in 1994 by completing a Technician program at the University of Stuttgart, where they studied Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. Following this, from 1998 to 1999, they obtained a University Entrance Qualification (BKFH) in Biotechnology from the Hedwig-Dohm-School in Stuttgart.
In 1999, Daniela enrolled at Mannheim University of Applied Science (M.U.A.S) and earned a Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) and a Dipl.-Ing. Biotechnology (FH) degree between 1999 and 2004. Their studies focused on Biotechnology Engineering.
In 2003, they pursued further education at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, and successfully completed a Dipl.-Ing. Biotechnology (FH)/Diploma degree in Molecular Biology, Development, and microRNAs in 2004.
Continuing their academic pursuits, Daniela joined the Max-Planck Institute Tuebingen in Tuebingen, Germany, in 2005, where they engaged in a PhD candidate program in Genome Sciences/Genomics. Daniela concluded their doctoral studies in 2010.
After a brief break, Daniela returned to academia in 2014 by pursuing a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree in Bioinformatic with a focus on Biomathematics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) in Spain. Daniela successfully completed their master's degree in 2015.
Although not mentioned in the provided information, Daniela has an additional certification in GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice). However, the institution and specific details of when and where they obtained this certification are not provided.
