De masterspecialisatie Molecular en Cellular Biosciences is een uitstekende mogelijkheid voor studenten die geïnteresseerd zijn in het bestuderen van de Life Sciences. Meerdere onderzoeksonderwerpen zijn mogelijk: niet alleen het blootleggen van moleculaire mechanismes die aan de basis staan van diverse organismes en hun functioneren in ecosystemen, maar ook de toepassing van deze kennis in de biotechnologie.
Career
This MSc track provides students with knowledge of all basic aspects of genetics and molecular and cellular biology of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Attention is paid to genetic, microbiological, cellular and physiological approaches to understand the functioning of uni- and multicellular organisms at molecular level. Training in functional genomics, cellular imaging, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics will provide essential knowledge and skills to apply these powerful techniques in the broad fields of biological and medical research. Particular attention is paid to the implications of these techniques for biotechnology and the understanding of the molecular basis of development and diseases of animals and plants. This master’s track is ideally suited as a basis for starting a career in experimental molecular-biological or biomedical research. As students are given the option to conduct a project at the interface of fundamental and applied science, this will also qualify them for positions in commercial companies.
