Panoramica
The Master’s Degree program in Medical and Pharmaceuticals Biotechnologies prepares graduates with highly skilled in designing, analysing and researching biotechnologies in the biomedical and pharmaceutical field.
During a common first year the students acquire skills and knowledge on the fundamentals of biotechnology, particulary concerning:
- stem cells and their use in various research fields;
- genetics in normal conditions and its modifications in diseases;
- engineered proteins and on RNA technology, as well as their dynamic interaction (system biology);
- biotechnological applications in biochemical / biomolecular diagnostics and in the development of biological markers;
- the biochemical and physiological aspects of human cells, tissues and organisms;
- the basis of human pathological processes of an infectious, metabolic, degenerative and tumor type, with reference to their cellular pathogenetic and molecular mechanisms;
In the second year the student will choose between two curricula:
The Medical Biotechnologies curriculum focues on the pathogenetic mechanisms of diseases human, non-pharmaceutical (vaccines, biological drugs, gene and cell therapy) and pharmaceutical therapies.
The Pharmaceutical curriculum focuses on biotechnologies applied to the design, research and development, and analysis of innovative biotechnological drugs.
The formal approval of this program by the Italian Ministry of Education is expected by June 2022.
