Overview
How to provide safe, stable food and how to produce crops in a stable way? How to develop treatments for age-related diseases or infections? How to find solutions to emerging problems, such as antibiotic resistance and nitrogen fixation in our soils? These are all demanding challenges that modern society faces. And it’s our priority to find solutions.
The Biomolecular Sciences - Molecular Bioinformatics programme is offered by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
With a thorough understanding of molecular and cellular processes and a focus on fundamentals, you’ll be better positioned to innovate and develop biotechnological solutions or treatments for these issues.
Moreover, today’s biomolecular scientists are increasingly exposed to huge volumes of data from high-throughput methods, which require a critical scientific approach. To this end, it’s vital that molecular and cell biology graduates are well-prepared to enter the lab within an interdisciplinary life sciences research community.
