Mastertrack Chemical Biology, Materials and Nanomedicine

Molecular research enables us to amongst others design new molecules, with which we can develop new medicines, biomaterials, and devices.

In this track, we approach biomedical problems from a molecular perspective. Researchers simulate extant biological systems, so as to build upon them and for example develop new materials with new functions or properties. Another category of research involves decoding the molecular mechanisms behind diseases such as Alzheimer's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob.

With your way of thinking and your skills, you have the perfect background to find a job as (bio)medical engineer. People in the world are getting older and older. This increases the demand for innovative biomedical solutions. Expectations are that the demand for biomedical engineers will stay in the job market. After acquiring a Master's degree in Biomedical or Medical Engineering, there is a broad perspective in job offers. Besides becoming a researcher, you could for example become a developer, project manager, teacher, consultant or business developer.

Graduates can work among others at universities, in hospitals, in pharmaceutical companies or engineering companies.
