Educational objectives – professional opportunities for graduates
The 2nd cycle Degree Course in Medical Biotechnologies and Molecular Medicine aims at providing knowledge and competences in the diagnostic, bio-engineering, therapeutical, biotechnological, reproduction and production ambits. The course is articulated in frontal teaching, practical and instrumental laboratory activities, and professional practice.
Acquired competences will enable graduates to achieve the professional level required by healthcare facilities at a local, national and international level.
Graduates of this course may run laboratories with technological characterisation and coordinate, both at managerial and administrative level, programmes of development and surveillance of applied human biotechnologies, development of pharmacological products and vaccines, with the due attention to ethical, technical, legal and environmental implications.
