MASTER DEGREE IN MEDICAL BIOTECHNOLOGIES

Fields of knowledge covered by the courses:

• Nanobiotechnologies• Functional genomics• Proteomics• Stem cells biology• Developmental biology• Molecular oncology• Infectious agents• Gene therapy• Vaccine therapies• Drug Design• Imaging techniques• Neuroscience• Molecular diagnostics• Bioinformatics

The didactic activities are delivered through lectures, but there is alsothe possibility to participate in seminars/journal clubs and carry out some practical work in research laboratories.

All in an interdisciplinary and international perspective

The degree program prepares graduates who will take care ofmolecular medicine without dealing directly with the patient and whowill work in one of the leading sectors of the international research
