Biochemistry and Biomedical Technologies

Study program Biochemistry and Biomedical Technologies provides graduates besides the extensive knowledge in biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatics, immunology, immunochemistry, physiology and human nutrition also knowledge in the field of bioengineering, bioanalytical methods, cell culturing and materials biocompatibility. An important part of study program is focused on individual laboratory research practice in various research fields as molecular medicine, biocompatibility of new materials, effects of natural or synthetic compounds in treatment and prevention of several diseases, programmed cell death or searching of microbial producers of metabolites potentially utilizable pharmaco-medical applications. This master's degree study program enables the graduate to be adaptable when employed either in research, development, marketing, industrial and laboratory practice or to continue in the next study.
Graduate has complex knowledge of the key disciplines of natural sciences and a technical view on the gathered skills when applied in research, clinical or industrial laboratory practice. Graduate is able to analyze reasons and implications of physical, chemical and biological processes, interpret the principles of processes applied in various branches of pharmaceutical and biomedical technologies. Graduate is skilled in the methods of: microorganisms and animal cells culturing; metabolites production, isolation and analysing; induction and utilization of genome modification of microorganisms, animals and plants. Graduate is also skilled in the principles, methods and working techniques employed in various types of chemical, microbiological, biochemical, genetic, and bioanalytical laboratories, and in industry. Graduate is able to: manage the working teams; at least to communicate in one world language; to operate basically with PC applications including practical aspects of information technologies. The graduate is educated in main scientific, social, economic, commercial and ethical issues associated with development and expansion of the biotechnologies applied not only in industry but also in medicine. Graduate has principal knowledge of management, law and economy.

Graduate from this master study program has an appropriate qualification for further PhD studies in successive or related study programs, or may be employed in the laboratories that are oriented in basic or applied research in the fields of general and/or clinical biochemistry and microbiology. The graduate may be employed as well as in the field of biotechnologies focused on pharmacy, biomedicine. Graduate may be employed also in the fields of development, production, analysis, storage and sale of various chemical specialties and materials, for application pharmaceutical and biomedical research and practice. The understanding of the physical principles of various analytical and diagnostic techniques enables the graduate to work as the methodologist in application of modern technologies processed on unique equipments in clinical practice. The skills in technical terminology and the language training enable the graduate to find an application in the sectors dealing with product certification, environmental monitoring, hygiene, metrology, or technical translation.
