THE STUDY PROGRAM IS AWAITING INITIAL ACCREDITATION.

Once accreditation is obtained, it will be active starting from the academic year 2024/2025.

The Master's Degree Course in Advanced Biotechnology (Class LM-9) aims to provide master's graduates with advanced tools and multidisciplinary skills aimed at the design, development and application of innovative biotechnological processes for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetics, innovative materials and nanotechnology sectors.

The Master's Degree Course is delivered entirely in English. Year 1 is aimed at providing the fundamental knowledge related to drug discovery and development, fermentation biotechnology and biotechnological drug analysis, Green Chemistry and synthesis of bio-conjugates, preclinical drug testing, assays used in the development of bioactive molecules for the treatment of infectious diseases, cellular and molecular bases associated with cancer and tissue regeneration, and the use of nanomaterials applied to biotechnological and diagnostic drugs.

Year 2 provides in-depth knowledge of the various "omics" sciences that enable detailed characterization of molecular, physiological, and pathological processes of complex biological systems, the bioinformatics and computational approach applied to the study of drugs, the manufacture and formulation of biotechnological drugs, and principles of bioethics, clinical trial design, and pharmacovigilance.
