Overview

A particular focus lies on the quantitative analysis of molecules and cells aided by mathematical and theoretical concepts. Within the first year of the program, Quantitative Molecular Biology students from Humboldt University Berlin attend several compulsory and elective modules that advance their competencies in the fields of Microbiology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Plant Sciences, Infection biology, Cell biology and Immunology. The second year is research-oriented, including a study project and the final Master Thesis.

Study Project / Master Thesis

A group or individuals work on a scientific project that has to be related to the theoretical and experimental topics of this Master's program. The study project extends over one or two semesters and comprises several hours of experimental work and a protocol.

Scientific projects can be conducted at the Department of Biology or an associated research organization, for instance, at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine. Students apply autonomously to research groups of their field of interest. For further information on the modalities of the Study Project, please contact the Examination Office Biology/Biophysics.

Within the Final Module, students use their specific knowledge in a current research topic in the field of Molecular Biology, planning and conducting a scientific project at current research standards independently, and writing the Master Thesis.
