Specialisation Cellular and Molecular Biotechnology
Cellular and Molecular Biotechnology focuses on the practical application of cellular and molecular knowledge with the aim of enhancing or improving production in micro-organisms or cell cultures. Knowledge and skills from this specialization can be applied in biobased technology, food biotechnology, medicine and vaccine development as well as in environmental technology.
You will take one year of courses, some compulsory and others optional. In the second year of the MSc you will perform two research projects: a major thesis at Wageningen University and a second research project or internship inside or outside Wageningen.
