Overview
The Medical Biotechnologies programme at the University of Padua is delivered entirely in English, with an international approach, teaching the methods and instruments of biotechnology for the prevention, diagnosis and therapy of human diseases. There are two curricula: Medical Biotechnologies, through which you will obtain the Italian master's degree, and Molecular Medicine (which is accessed after a selection in the admission phase) which will also give you the title issued by the University of Ulm (Germany), where you will attend the second semester the first year, and possibly the undergraduate internship. You will deal with the relationships between the structure and function of biomolecules and biosystems operating at the cellular, tissue and human body level, in physiological and pathological conditions; you may work as a freelance professional or as a specialist in advanced instrumentation within the research and diagnostics field or in analysis laboratories..
Career opportunities
Graduates work as heads of research laboratories and project coordinators related to biotechnologies applied to human beings, with emphasis on pharmaceutical products and vaccines, taking into account ethical, technical, and legal implications. They are able to assist doctors in the diagnosis and in the therapeutic phases implying the manipulation of cells, genes and other bio-systems.
