The master's degree, of an interuniversity nature, provides the advanced training that, both in the specialty of Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology and in Cognitive Neuroscience, a Neuroscience professional must possess in order to have the theoretical and experimental bases required to carry out a doctoral thesis.

This master's degree provides advanced training, with a multidisciplinary orientation, for the academic, professional and research specialization of graduates interested in various fields of Pediatric research. It is an interuniversity master's degree with the universities of Cantabria, Granada, Rovira i Virgili and Zaragoza.

The Master’s degree course in Health Biology has as its primary objective the training of a Biologist with specific skills in the field of Biomedical and Health Sciences.

The Master Degree in Genetic Counsellors is the first degree program in Italy that trains the professional figure of the genetic counsellor through the acquisition of the principles and practices of clinical, medical and laboratory genetics. Genetic counsellors are non-medical health figures that work closely with medical geneticists in both public and private medical genetics services.

Recent developments in the biomolecular sciences, particularly in genome sequencing, the mapping of molecular interaction networks, the biology of systems, structural biology, molecular evolution and cell development constitute a significant challenge to the teaching of biology. Developments of this type, however, have opened up new possibilities for building an integrated understanding of the functioning and evolution of life. The copious stream of information flowing from such advances has meant that a new teaching approach and a significant degree of knowledge integration have both become necessary. With this in mind, the second cycle in Molecular and Cell Biology places a strong emphasis on the study of genomes, cellular regulation and development, and molecular evolution. There are significant theoretical-practical and practical strands to the study programs which allow participants to extend their knowledge base and acquire laboratory training in the methods of modern Molecular and Cell Biology. There is a further component focusing on Bio-business that should help the transfer of knowledge acquired during the second cycle to the market place, and the setting up of biotechnology micro companies. Molecular and Cell Biology is one of the cornerstones of biotechnology and with a solid training in this area, graduates should be well prepared to set up micro companies to operate in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. The growing use of new molecular and genetic diagnostic tools in the national health service and in the food industry means there is a call for professionals with a solid training in the biomolecular sciences. The 2nd cycle in Molecular and Cell Biology at Aveiro was designed with the intention of preparing professionals for the field with competences in modern methods for the analysis of genes and genomes, RNA, proteins and other biomolecules that are of importance in clinical diagnostics and food safety.

By raising individuals who are modern, who are on the path shown by science, who have served their country and humanity; to contribute to the formation of health-manpower.

The Master of Health Science Program (MHS) is designed to meet the needs of students who require graduate-level preparation for careers in medicine, research, and public health. MMI MHS students go on to medical school, to achieve an advanced graduate education, and to take on positions in public health and industry. The MHS program is completed in one academic year.

The Department of Pathobiology and Diagnostic Investigation is addressing contemporary and emerging issues in human and animal health by advancing knowledge in biomedical sciences, leading the continued development of diagnostic methods that meet ever-evolving needs, and providing exceptional professional training in the diverse and multi-disciplinary fields of pathobiology.

Become a genetic counselor with compassion, a sense of self, and the skills to be a leader in genetic and genomic health care. The Columbia University Genetic Counseling Graduate Program curriculum combines basic science and clinical medicine with humanism and professionalism.

Indiana University School of Medicine offers Masters's degree programs in Anatomy, Cell Biology, and Physiology with three different learning tracks that prepare students for successful careers in research or education, or entry into professional clinical programs of study such as medicine, and occupational therapy, or physical therapy.

The Master’s program "Cognitive neuroscience" aims to prepare highly qualified specialists in the field of studying the brain and cognitive processes.

The major thrust of research in genomic & molecular epidemiology in the next ten years will be the identification of predisposing genes in complex diseases and environmental factors. This may ultimately lead to more targeted surveillance and improved clinical care.
