Course content and objectives
Modern molecular biotechnological and genetic engineering procedures are nowadays of high relevance to many realms of research and industrial processes such as biological and medical research, recombinant production of drugs, desired metabolites and optimized technical enzymes, the establishment of cellular detection systems, strategies of environmental management as well as food production. Its importance will definitely even increase in the future.
This three-semester English study program was developed to enable national and international students with backgrounds in biotechnology, pharmaceutical engineering, biomedical engineering, biology, food technology and related fields of study to deepen their knowledge in this field. This applied program includes subjects like advanced genetic engineering and cell culture, OMICS technologies, next generation sequencing, databases and bioinformatics, recombinant protein production and much more. Successful graduates will have best chances to reach high positions in corresponding companies and research institutes.
