Program Overview

Do you want to work in biomedical research and develop new therapies and diagnostic methods for human diseases in your future career? Do you want to deepen your knowledge of the molecular, cellular and genetic mechanisms underlying human diseases and focus on fields such as cancer biology, neurobiology, immunology, and molecular genetics? Then the master in Biomedicine (M.Sc.) in English is the right program for you.

Your study program in detail
The master’s program provides you with a comprehensive understanding of the molecular, cellular and genetic mechanisms of human diseases – including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, infectious diseases and genetic disorders. You will also acquire the know-how to understand how biological processes such as genetic regulation, cellular communication and organ function change in disease states.

Study content
In the master’s program, you will apply your knowledge of biomedicine, genetics and clinical research in an interdisciplinary way – furthermore you will learn to design and carry out independent research projects. You will be able to analyze and interpret complex biological data sets using statistical and bioinformatics tools. You will also learn how to work on complex research questions and contribute to scientific progress. The master´s program prepares you for clinical studies, biotechnological developments and working in interdisciplinary teams with physicians and scientists. Topics in your study program include, among others:

• Regulatory Affairs and Ethics in Biomedicine
• Cell Signaling Pathways
• Endocrine and Immune System
• Bioinformatics
• Medicinal Microbiology – Bacteria and Parasites
• Hematology and Hemostaseology
• Cardiovascular and Neurological Disorders – Cellular and Molecular Translational Research
• Molecular pathology of cancer – immunology, disease models and discovery of cancer biomarkers
