SCHOOL OF MEDICINE UNIVERSITY OF PADUA

MEDICAL BIOTECHNOLOGIES

Department of Molecular Medicine University of Padova


The aim of the course is…

…to educate specialised graduates with an advanced biomedical knowledge concerning the links between the structure and the purpose of biomolecules and bio-‐systems operaGng at cellular and Gssue level of the human body, in both physiological and pathological condiGons. The wide knowledge of the techniques is based on a solid prac>cal ac>vity in laboratories.


What will a specialised graduate in Medical Biothecnologies be able to do? *

Ø  To work in industry (pharma, biotech companies) for

new diagnos>cs, molecular therapeu>cs, regenera>ve medicine and vaccines

Ø  To work in academia as a researcher and lab director in one of the many fields of Molecular Medicine

Ø  To be an entrepreneur in Biotech start up companies as a result of scien>fic discoveries

* See also the qualifying educational objectives described in “classe LM-9”


…and more…

Graduates will be able to assist doctors in the diagnos>c and in the therapeu>c phases when those imply the manipula>on of cells, genes and other bio systems and when specific biotechnological experimental competences are required

What are the specific biotechnological experimental competences?

Ø  gene>c diagnosis and therapy

Ø  assisted insemina>on

Ø  therapies with engineered cells

Ø  ra>onal design and development of new medicines

Ø  construc>on of nano-‐biotechnological instruments for advanced diagnos>c

Ø  imaging and drug delivery

Ø  immune response modula>on

Ø  diagnos>c based on innova>ve process of medical laboratory techniques

Ø  immunotherapy with aimed cellular targets

Organising, coordina>ng, managing and planning…

Ø  lab ac>vi>es for the research with advanced diagnos>c inves>ga>on and the use of biotechnological methodology and manipula>on of cells or other biotechnological products

Ø  the experimental part of clinical researches implying the use of biotechnological techniques or other biotechnological products

Ø  biotechnological research applied to medical science

Ø  the developing and monitoring of biotechnological programs applied to human beings in respect of ethical, technical, environmental and economic implica>ons


In order to be admiLed students must have:

Ø  an adequate personal qualifica>on to be able to pass the entrance test

Ø  a good knowledge of chemistry, physics, mathema>cs, cell structure and animal biology, according to the plan approved by the Consiglio del Corso di Laurea

Ø  a good English language knowledge, adequate to understand lessons in English, according to the criteria set by the Course

Students must also:

Ø Have obtained the bachelor degree before the date that will be communicated in the admission no>ce

Ø Enroll for the test within the end of August 2014. The exact date will be communicated in the admission no>ce

Ø Pass the entrance test
