Program Description
Why study Biomolecular Sciences at VU Amsterdam?
The field of Biomolecular Sciences is a core research area at VU Amsterdam. Much of the faculty’s research in this field has been brought together in a single, leading research organization: the Amsterdam Institute for Molecules, Medicines and Systems (AIMMS). You will learn to work with state-of-the-art techniques and carry out research in this vital field of science.
STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAMME
In this Master’s programme, you can choose between two specializations or combine them: Cell Biology and Biological Chemistry. You take compulsory courses that equip you with essential knowledge and skills that you need to pursue your specialization, a selection of optional courses, write a literature survey, most importantly, complete two research internships, combining theory with practice meant to develop your research skills.In the Cell Biology specialization, you learn about cellular processes at the molecular level, ranging from the regulation of gene expression to all kinds of cytosolic processes. In the Biological Chemistry specialization, you learn how cells, cellular structures and individual proteins interact with their chemical environment, with a special focus on characterizing new drug targets and tools to find small molecules as a starting point for developing new medicines.
