This title allows the admission to Masters (second level), PhD programs and fellowship programs in the medical field (only those in which biotechnologists are admitted).

This course wants to provide a solid cultural and methodological preparation in the most advanced biology and biotechnology application in the medical field. The possibility to reach these goals is facilitated by the synergy between the teachers of the course, including both basic scientists and those performing clinical studies. For this reason the students will gain a better understanding of translational medicine.

The experience and skills obtained during the course will allow our graduates to take an active part in research, development of innovative biotechnologies, design of biomedical systems, in particular those involved in diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.
