Molecular Biology and Genetics

Overview

The Master of Science in Molecular Biology and Genetics at University of Pavia will provide a state-of-the-art knowledge and training in biomolecular sciences, including the most recent advances in genomics and proteomics of human and animal organisms, in the study of biomolecular structures and their connection to function, and in the genetic manipulation of bacteria, human and animal cells and seed plants. 

Aims:

• Provide students with an excellent background in theoretical and practical aspects of biomolecular sciences as well as in laboratory techniques.
• Stimulate students to plan and implement research projects and to critically evaluate the results of their research and the scientific literature.
• Help students to develop a critical evaluation of theoretical and practical methodologies used to analyze and solve scientific questions and issues.
• Introduce students to the frontiers of research in Life Sciences also with the support of lectures and seminars given by invited international scientists of excellent level.
• Help students to develop writing and oral scientific communication skills in view of their future interaction with the international scientific community.
• Develop team work.
• Help students to gain and develop knowledge and skills required by research organizations and biotechnology companies.
• Explain the importance of bringing the benefits of advanced research in Life Sciences to the society.
