Pure & Applied SciencesDescription of the Programme
Medical Biotechnology is the application of exciting advances in molecular and cell biology to medicine, agriculture and the environment. Ever wondered how new drugs and vaccines are discovered? Why there are improved and accelerated drug testing, better diagnostic capabilities, and the availability of foods which enhance nutritional values? This is because of the advances in Medical Biotechnology. This progress has tremendously improved healthcare and is viewed by many scientists as only the beginning of a great era of medical biotechnology. The programme encompasses the exciting and rapidly evolving fields of proteomics, genetic engineering and advanced techniques in molecular analysis. A new generation of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, hormones and anti-inflammatory agents are being developed using these technologies. The development of medical biotechnologies is one of the major success stories of the last 20 years and continues to revolutionize the world of medicine. Exciting new developments have led the way to new treatments to combat previously life-threatening diseases and to improve the quality of life. This programme will lead you through some of the most important developments, helping you to understand them and opening up a future world of innovation and discovery. You will study core subjects like Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Genetics, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Infection and Immunology, etc. This degree will provide you with the tools and knowledge to work in biomedical science research and the biotechnology industry.
