- Description/content
- The Master's programme in "Molecular Life Sciences: Microbiology, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry (MLS-MBB)" is jointly offered by the Faculty of Biology and the Faculty of Chemistry.
Building on their existing knowledge in (molecular) biology and biochemistry, students will learn to apply methodical approaches to the analysis of biomolecules and cellular functions on molecular levels. Focus will be placed on concepts and methods from the fields of molecular cell biology and plant sciences, biotic interactions, and biotechnology as well as structural and RNA-biochemistry.
The whole programme is held in English. The curriculum comprises lectures with initial practical courses and consecutive individual research projects applying high-end technology. A variety of bacterial, fungal, and plant model organisms are used.
