Contribute to improving modern medicine and fighting back against deadly diseases by delving deep into the world of biomolecular science. You will receive an in-depth education in subjects including protein function, stability, structure, production, and design. Alongside this, you will also focus on the physical chemistry of RNA and DNA and the biological chemistry of molecular interactions within the cell – knowledge that is essential for modern drug design and for understanding the molecular mechanisms of health and disease.

Ph.D. students will be trained in he field of vaccine design including construction of vaccination antigens either wild type or chimeric based on protein, glycoprotein, or DNA/RNA; antigen modification for targeted induction of cytotoxic T cells, induction of tolerizing T cells, modification of allergen- or autoantigen-specific immune responses and induction of oral tolerance phenomenon; antigen or DNA/RNA modification for corpuscular vaccine formulation, utilizing various route of administration (systemic and mucosal) and evaluation of either systemic or mucosal immune responses in humoral and cellular arms as well as relevant intracellular signalling pathways.

MSc in Molecular Biology is a form part of our day-to-day lives wherever we are, and we constantly have to make decisions drawing on scientific and technological knowledge. Natural scientists tell us the significance of C02 in relation to climate change, and when we have to decide whether to reduce C02 emissions, we need to understand what sort of knowledge we have and on what it is based.

Today's health care system faces many challenges. The new interdisciplinary two years Master PHM will train you to contribute to a more integrated health care system.

The master’s programme in Molecular Biotechnology has been developed in close cooperation with businesses working within bioscience and the biotechnology sector. This makes it unique and means that you will learn systems biology methods that are in demand both within the employment market and in research.

Molecular Sciences has in recent years emerged as a field somewhat broader than Chemistry, as its activities include methods and technologies which previously were linked to e.g. physics and biotechnology. Molecular Sciences includes the analysis of molecules at all levels, ranging from physical properties, through chemical reactivity, to interactions in larger assemblies, such as in a biological cell.

The Doctoral Program in Pathology and Molecular Genetics (PDPGM) offers advanced training in pathology and molecular genetics. Targeted at young graduates or those with a master's in life and health sciences, it focuses on basic and translational research, as well as molecular diagnostics in biopathology. Graduates will be equipped to lead scientific research

Are you interested in the molecular mechanisms behind major health problems, such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s? What about their impact on antibiotics or food production? The Biomolecular Sciences Master’s program at VU Amsterdam aims to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and insight required to operate as an independent scientist within the field of biomolecular sciences. It’ll also prepare you to become a suitable candidate for a career in research.

Biomedical science is the science that underpins medicine and medical research; it covers a wide range of subjects including human physiology; human anatomy; disease processes and their treatment; biochemistry; genetics and microbiology.

If you search for a deep understanding of microbial and other biological systems, driving from molecular and cellular organization of individual or community to apply in different areas (Environmental, Industrial and Biomedical) then come and seek your tools in the Microbial and Molecular Biology (MMB) Master Program.

The Master´s course in Microbiology aims to provide students with advanced skills in fundamental and applied microbiology. This is an area in which knowledge is rapidly expanding, incorporating high technological innovation and integrating several areas of the biology, such as genetics, molecular biology and immunology, among others. In this context, the training of specialists must cover the different domains in which the impact and action of microorganisms are recognized as relevant, namely, in industry, in the area of human health and in the protection of the environment.

The master's degree in Molecular Biotechnology is the ideal program for students who want to build a solid foundation of operational knowledge, techniques and methods in the area of biotechnology.

Biotechnology is the exploitation of living systems or molecules from them for commercial gain. Although the word 'biotechnology' is only a few decades old, humankind has been using biotechnology for millennia, for example in baking, brewing and sewage treatment. Modern biotechnologies rely on our increasing ability to manipulate organisms at the genetic level and include novel waste treatments and bioremediations, new pharmaceuticals, the exploitation of enzymes in 'green catalysis' and exciting new diagnostic techniques.
