Overview

Scientific progress in the biomedical field has undergone an unprecedented acceleration since the discovery of DNA’s double-helix structure, to open up previously unthinkable clinical, diagnostic and pharmaceutical prospects.

The Medical Biotechnologies curriculum aims to train biomedical researchers equipped with a high-level skill set that combines basic and specialised scientific knowledge with pioneering technologies.

The training programme is part of an international scientific environment that provides a highly-qualified teaching body, cutting-edge infrastructures and industrial partners that take part in academic activities and are keen to take on students for both internships and recruitment in the world of employment. The programme’s close connections with the San Raffaele research facilities provides a specific academic pathway that is the only one of its kind in Italy and is able to guarantee training that is competitive even in today’s international scenario.

From student to researcher: Providing interdisciplinary training programmes able to combine solid biomedical know-how with an in-depth knowledge of the latest biotechnological applications is an essential factor for being able to take part, on a par with other European countries in the cultural revolution of scientific research.

The Bachelor’s degree aims to guarantee a complete educational programme able to forge professionals ready to enter the world of employment whilst simultaneously providing the highest-level of preparation for those who wish to undertake the further studies that allow the training of tomorrow’s researchers.

At our University, Biotechnology Research in Medicine graduates have the chance to undertake the Master’s degree in Biotechnology and Medical Biology and, subsequently, the international doctorate programmes run by the University (International Ph.D. Programmes in Cellular and Molecular Biology and in Molecular Medicine).

Educational Projects

In addition to the training required to undertake a postgraduate master’s degree, the course prepares graduates able to take on highly-specialised roles and responsibilities in public or private research bodies, biotechnological service centres and biotech and pharmaceutical companies. More specifically, graduates acquire the skills required to work in the various biotech sectors applied to human health: basic and applied research (molecular, pharmacological, genetic, immunological, etc.); animal organism and cell manipulation; production of transgenic animals; design and production of vectors for gene therapy; design, production and control of biotechnological medicinal products, hormones and vaccines; and production and control of natural bioactive products.
