Overview
Programme overview
The Master's specialisation in Medical Epigenomics focuses on the cell as one complex system and the epigenetic mechanisms during cell development and disease. This includes studying DNA and RNA by next-generation sequencing (epigenomics) and analysing proteins by mass spectrometry (proteomics).
Radboud University coordinates multiple large epigenetics projects, including projects on leukaemia, skin development, pluripotency, embryonic development, malaria and organoids.
This programme also works closely with high-profile, medically oriented groups on the Radboud campus and with international institutes (EMBL, Max-Planck, Marie Curie, Cambridge, US-based labs, etc). Master’s students have the opportunity to participate in these projects or arrange internships with these institutes.
