Molecular Techniques in Life Sciences Stockholm University

Overview

Our understanding of biology at molecular level has advanced dramatically in recent years, enabled by rapid technological progress of molecular techniques used in all aspects of life science. This has led to the development of new therapies and diagnostic tools for effective disease treatment, as well as novel insights into complex environmental phenomena.

The Molecular Techniques in Life Sciences program at Stockholm University is delivered by a team of teachers who are internationally recognised researchers in their respective disciplines, so as to ensure a relevant curriculum at the research forefront. 

The courses give a solid education in a combination of molecular biology, biotechnology and medicine. There is a strong focus on high-throughput biology and data analysis, including programming, and the translation of biological findings from lab bench to patient bedside. 

The programme also develops skills and abilities essential to a professional career. These skills and abilities include oral and written presentation, teamwork, and how to make ethical and societal considerations about life science-related issues, all of which are important for the ability to lead projects in academia and industry.
