6266 - Medical Biotechnology
The second cycle/two-year master’s degree programme in Medical Biotechnology aims to produce specialist graduates in medical biotechnology with in-depth interdisciplinary knowledge and a global view on the applications of biotechnology to human health and in the biomedical field, enabling them to enter the world of work in positions of responsibility. The second cycle/two-year master’s degree programme in Medical Biotechnology includes activities aimed at acquiring: - advanced knowledge of the structure and function of biological macromolecules and biological systems from the cellular level to that of organisms; - the fundamentals of pathological processes of human interest, with reference to their cellular and molecular pathogenetic mechanisms and to congenital or acquired pathological conditions in which it is possible to intervene with a biotechnological approach; - fundamental knowledge and techniques in the fields of biotechnology applied to human health; - mastery of the scientific method of investigation and the related bioinformatic and statistical methodologies; - cellular and molecular methodologies for the use of biotechnology in clinical and experimental settings, for gene therapy and for cell therapy; - specialist competences in specific sectors of medical biotechnology, including the use of the main biotechnological methodologies for the design and production of treatments, diagnostic methods, vaccines and other biotechnological products useful for healthcare purposes in the human field. - knowledge relating to the most modern molecular analysis technologies applied to laboratory medicine and diagnostics in the medical field, including techniques useful for the recognition of microorganisms that interact with human organisms. The second cycle/two-year master’s degree programme in Medical Biotechnology at the University of Bologna provides advanced training in biotechnology applied to medicine, with the inclusion from the first year onwards of the common biotechnological disciplines - the fundamental disciplines applied to biotechnology and those belonging to the field of morphology, function and pathology of cells and complex organisms - together with the medical-surgical disciplines and laboratory, diagnostic disciplines. The second half of the second year of the programme includes internships to be carried out in Italy or abroad, at research bodies or institutes, universities, foundations, companies and/or public administrations, also within the framework of international agreements.
