The Master's programme places Biochemistry, as common thread of biological molecular processes, at the very centre of the students’ educational path, making it the interpretative key of their future professional and working approach. The aim of the programme is to create a professional figure that operates at the interface between Biology and Chemistry, at the service of applied and basic research, and of the production of goods and services. The degree programme provides in-depth theoretical knowledge of the main fields of Biochemistry, Biochemical Methodologies and Biotechnologies, as well as a solid practical preparation, thanks to the presence of laboratory classes and a laboratory placement, aimed at the preparation of an experimental thesis, which can be carried out in Academia or in public and private research institutions. The educational path of the programme is divided into three main learning areas: Structural and functional biochemistry; Cellular biochemistry, physiopathology and pharmacology; Biochemical methodologies and biotechnologies. It also includes a fourth Specialisation Area consisting of a panel of elective courses in Advanced Biochemistry, Medical and pharmaceutical, and Nutritional and Agro-industrial fields. Students will also acquire knowledge of Bioethics, Patenting, Regulation and Communication Skills.
