Description

The main focus of the advanced studies in cell and molecular biology is on the molecular mechanisms of life, focusing on nanobiology, in particular microbiology, virology, and protein structure and function. In addition to the major subject studies, students are encouraged to take minors from the other disciplines offered in the university such as other natural sciences, statistics, computer sciences, business studies or social sciences.
