Program name Master’s degree in applied biochemistry
Department of natural and life sciences
Program name: Master’s degree in applied biochemistry
- Level: Master.
- Domain: Natural and life sciences
- Field: Biological sciences
- Specialty: Applied Biochemistry.
- Program Description:
The objective of this master’s degree is to deepen the basic knowledge already acquired in the licenses of fundamental and applied biochemistry and molecular biology opened in our department.
This Master thus aims to train a human potential at the forefront of fundamental and applied knowledge in the field of biochemistry, molecular biology and biomolecule engineering (a field currently booming in the world).
Its main purpose will be to train student biochemists and biotechnologists specialized in the research, development, control and analysis of biomolecules.
The topics covered in this master will cover aspects of biochemistry and biotechnology. They will focus on the study of metabolic and physiological processes, molecular biology tools and bio-engineering (production of molecules for therapeutic or immunodiagnostic use).
The proposed program aims to provide the student with specialized training, an introduction to research, development and its application in analysis and control laboratories related to human health, but also in the pharmaceutical industry.
Through this training, we will cover all aspects covering the development, production and evaluation of secondary metabolites and bioactive molecules.
The main axes of this program will be linked by fundamental aspects relating to biochemistry, immunology and the pharmacology of fundamental mechanisms at the cellular and molecular level with orientations in bioengineering, control and laboratory management.
