Molecular Biomedicine (MSc)

The Master's degree in Molecular Biomedicine combines the molecular life sciences with medicine by examining the molecular and cellular aspects of biology with special consideration of medical issues and problems. The explicit aim of the course of study is to convey the strong interdisciplinary approach of molecular biomedicine to the students and to overcome the subject boundaries between scientific and medical thinking through research-oriented project work. The focus of the degree programme in “Molecular Biomedicine” is on the molecular mechanisms of cellular processes, whereby methods and the molecular understanding of the natural sciences are linked with current medical content. In the field of neuroscience, there is the possibility of specialising in key areas in: biochemistry genetics molecular and cell biology electrophysiology A wide range of methods is used, ranging from microscopic techniques, heterologous gene expression and electrophysiological measurements to analysing the reactions of neurons in cell groups and in the intact nervous system to analysing behavioural patterns. Specialisation in cell and molecular biology basics, degenerative diseases as well as genetic diagnostic therapies and regenerative medicine is possible in neurogenetics, human genetics, genetics of childhood brain malformation, ophthalmology and geriatrics. Through a wide range of specialist training and instruction in various methodological and conceptual areas, the students are enabled to carry out basic scientific as well as clinical research in the field of molecular biomedicine independently.  https://uol.de/studiengang/molecular-biomedicine-master-616 https://uol.de/en/molecular-biomedicine The research-oriented Master's programme with a total workload of 120 ECTS has a modular structure, comprising modules from the teaching units of medicine, neuroscience and biology. The curriculum is very flexible. You can choose modules depending on your interest and research profile and design your own study track.
