Main focus

; Graduates of this master’s programme will be able to design, plan, and elaborate studies of translational research. They will know how to evaluate and comprehend the aetiology, prognosis, and evolution of illnesses at the molecular and cellular level. Graduates will possess the skills that will enable them to develop and perform tests at the cellular and animal level with a view to obtaining different disease models for therapeutic purposes. They will be able to identify and understand the usefulness and potential of molecular biomarkers in different pathologies and new targeted therapies. They will know how to design a work approach with an innovative therapy that can be transferred to clinical contexts and to the inventory of services offered by a health system. Finally, they will have an in-depth knowledge of and be capable of applying engineering and nanotechnological concepts to translational research, always with an awareness of possible preventive, therapeutic, and diagnostic repercussions.
