The course in brief Presentation The course trains scientists with a solid background of basic theoretical knowledge and highly specific skills applied to the various fields of biotechnology. Notions of physics, chemistry, molecular and cellular biology are provided in the course, with an emphasis on application and the design and implementation of new biotechnological methodologies. Learning by doing The course has a very strong practical emphasis: laboratories characterise many of the lectures and enable students to familiarise themselves with the most important techniques. Of great importance is the laboratory internship for the preparation of the thesis, which must be experimental, and which can be carried out in university laboratories of the highest quality, in centres of excellence such as the Policlinico San Martino Hospital, the Italian Institute of Technology, the Giannina Gaslini Institute or in companies in the sector. The course is also highly practical: laboratory internships are a feature of many of the lessons and enable students to become familiar with the most important techniques. Professional outlets In addition to continuing their studies with a master's degree, a graduate in biotechnology can enter the professions of industry technician, biomedical laboratory technician in toxicological/environmental detection centres and in research institutes or organisations. Other directly accessible professions are scientific informant and consultant in the fields of environmental quality, hygiene and use of biotechnological products. What you will learn coltivare cellule far crescere cellule di animali e piante in laboratorio la reazione a catena della DNA polimerasi (PCR) padroneggiare una delle più importanti tecniche della biologia molecolare immunologia i meccanismi di risposta dell'organismo ad agenti patogeni il funzionamento dei farmaci ideare e validare nuove terapie costruire molecole di DNA ricombinante modificare il genoma degli organismi viventi biotecnologie industriali utilizzare e modificare microrganismi per scopi industriali procreazione medicalmente assistita le tecniche per la fecondazione umana in vitro genetica le basi dell'ereditarietà dei caratteri bioinformatica analizzare computazionalmente enormi moli di dati biologici Contents The Biotechnology degree programme enables graduates to apply multidisciplinary techniques for the analysis, modification and use of cells and their components for the production of goods and services. Economic, managerial, legal, ethical and environmental aspects of the applications of these technologies are also considered. It provides a degree that is immediately spendable on the job market in the field of biotechnology and biomedical industry and research, and a solid basis for access to Master's degrees in the medical, veterinary, pharmaceutical, industrial and agricultural fields. It is oriented so as to provide a good basic education in the first two years, with the emphasis in the third year on laboratory activities and qualifying courses that are immediately spendable in the world of work. Coordinator Dear students,the three years of the Biotechnology course represent a revolution in your education equal to that experienced at the beginning of primary school. If in the latter you were provided with the indispensable keys to life in today's society, in the university you build the foundations of your professional life.These are the foundations of your professional life. In welcoming you to our course, I welcome you to the gateway of one of the most enthusiastic and most rapidly developing disciplines.
