ADDRESSED TO: Access to this master’s degree is open to holders of an official bachelor’s degree from a Spanish university or from another higher education institution within or outside the European Higher Education Area, provided this gives access to postgraduate studies in the country of issue.
Thus, after a deeper look at aspects of synthetic biology, systems biology, metabolic engineering, and microbial biotechnology, students will be able to choose between two tracks: Industrial Biotechnology, and Molecular and Therapeutic Biotechnology.
Students on the Industrial Biotechnology track will delve more deeply into applied biocatalysis and biotransformations, bioprocess engineering of cell factories, rules and regulations for making biotechnological products, or integrating genetic, molecular and bioinformatic tools for the genetic improvement of microorganisms.
Students on the Molecular and Therapeutic Biotechnology track will learn more about advanced methodologies for the functional study of biomolecules, using examples from human diseases (diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer, etc.), technologies for obtaining transgenic animals and their biomedical applications, the methodology of gene therapy in vivo and ex vivo, the application of nanotechnology and biomaterials to the biomedical field and the potential of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.
