The Master's program in Medical Biotechnology and Molecular Medicine aims to train professionals with a solid technical and theoretical background. Their expected career development will be to develop scientific methodologies and coordinate research projects in the fields of applied biotechnology and translational medicine. The Master's program will provide students with a solid background in the genetic and molecular bases of diseases and the physiopathological mechanisms occurring in human beings in disease states, in order to develop biotechnology-based diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This knowledge will be complemented with specific training in the fields of computer science, biophysics, nanotechnology and pharmacology. The Master's program is organised in common and curricular learning activities focusing on neuroscience, oncology, molecular diagnostics, immunobiotechnology, modelling and bioinformatics. As part of the common course, students will learn the economic management of a scientific project, with a focus on the construction of a business plan and cost analysis. The Master's program devotes a long period of time, almost the entire second year, to laboratory activities in which the student, under the supervision of a tutor, will independently develop and apply different experimental approaches in the context of a larger research project. This activity will be aimed at preparing for the final examination of the degree course.
