The overall objective of this Master’s course is to train professionals in the field of biomedical research, providing specialization, primarily in the acquisition of proficiencies related to research, but also includes the acquisition of advanced knowledge and command of cutting-edge techniques and skills, some of which are interdisciplinary in nature.
the ultimate goal of this Master’s is to provide professionals with a solid grounding in molecular and cellular biomedicine, which will allow them on the one hand to develop excellent basic biomedicine research skills, and on the other to promote competitive translational research, contributing to a deeper understanding of the etiopathology and physiopathology of diseases and improving their treatment.
The Master’s Degree in Biomedicine is integrated into the Postgraduate Training Programme in Biomedicine and Life Sciences, enabling students to continue for a Ph.D. Thus, there is a final block of elective subjects (a maximum of 8 credits). Students may choose two modules: The biotechnology module (CEB Txx), and the elective Medical Chemistry module (CEQMxx).

General objectives
Accordingly, the ultimate goal of this Master’s is to provide professionals with a solid grounding in molecular and cellular biomedicine, which will allow them on the one hand to develop excellent basic biomedicine research skills, and on the other to promote competitive translational research, contributing to a deeper understanding of the etiopathology and physiopathology of diseases and improving their treatment. The general objectives are as follows:
- To provide a deeper understanding of the causes and the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the physiopathology of diseases, acquiring an integrated vision.
- To acquire advanced skills in experimental laboratory work in the field of molecular and cellular biomedicine.
- To understand the uses and limitations of the most relevant technologies in current research, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases.
- To acquire the knowledge and the ability to identify problems, find practical solutions, and know-how to apply them in a research or professional context in the biomedical field.
- To acquire the ability to design and carry out a research project in the field of biomedicine.
- To develop the ability to communicate and present scientific work clearly and concisely, both verbally and in writing.
- To acquire the skills necessary for independent life-long learning.
- To acquire a solid basis for a career in research after taking a doctorate or for carrying out professional duties in the biomedical field not requiring a doctorate or medical degree.
Focus
Research.
Degree course specialization profile
The degree specialization profile centers on an introduction to research in the field of biomedicine. The first step involves providing students with a direction and subsequently offering a specialization coherent with the knowledge acquired previously on their degree courses. The course then provides students with an introduction to research in this field.
Professional profile
This master’s degree course is not aimed at any specific profession.
