Education objectives

The Masters in Molecular Genetics and Biomedicine is an advanced training in Molecular Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Biology and Microbiology, with relevance to the understanding of phenomena related applications in medicine. The importance of Biomedical Sciences for the development of medicine is now widely recognized, and good professionals in the areas covered by this course are highly sought for multidisciplinary teams. 

Careers

Advanced training in Molecular Genetics and Biomedicine will allow access to a scientific-technological development corresponding a more advanced 3rd Cycle (PhD). It may also provide access to education and areas of research and development (R & D) in service sectors and manufacturing domestic or European in particular:
  • Medical centers and hospitals
  • Clinical laboratories and veterinary
  • Public health
  • Forensic Science
  • Pharmaceutical industry
  • Food industry
  • Cosmetics
  • Biotechnology industry
  • Consulting governmental organizations
