Medical biotechnologies (course held in English)

Attending the Medical Biotechnologies Master Degree, you will receive solid up-to-date knowledge and an advanced “wet” & “dry” lab expertise in molecular biomedicine applied to the biological and genetic understanding of human diseases. Starting from academic year 2020-21, you will have the option to choose between two didactical curricula: i) Molecular Basis of Disease, covering pathogenesis, advanced diagnosis and design of innovative therapeutic strategies of human diseases; and ii) System Biomedicine, focusing on “big data” analysis in different “-omics” (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, clinical omics…) and their translational implications forbiomedicine. Through the internships offered by both curricula, you will become active part of a lab group involved in international research and have the opportunity to develop a thesis research program. The constant exposure to the English language and the multicultural enviroment will offer you the opportunity to gain excellent skills for biomedical communication at the international level.

The "Master Degree" provides a total of 120 credits, divided into two years of course.
