Master of Molecular Biology Scholarships
Master of Molecular Biology Scholarships: The Master programme aims at strengthening and updating the theoretical and practical skills of young scientists from developing countries who are already involved in either Human or Animal Health Care, or Agricultural research.
After two years of study, participants should have acquired the ability to cope with a wide range of scientific problems and challenges and the intellectual tools needed to develop a molecular biological approach to tackle the problems their country is facing.
The first year of this Master programme consists of:Molecular Biology; Nucleic Acid Chemistry and Genetic Engineering, General Chemistry and Protein Chemistry, General and Analytical Biochemistry; Microbial Genetics and Genetics of Higher Eukaryotes; Mathematics and Statistics; Bioinformatics; Immunology; Microbiology; Virology and Parasitology; Physiology (plant or animal physiology option); practical courses and visits.
The second year of this Master programme consists of:Advanced Microbial Genetics and Virology; Physical Chemistry and Structural Analysis of Macromolecules; Social and Economical Aspects of Biotechnology) and one of three specialisation core courses:
