Medical Biology

Combine fundamental human biology with clinical studies. Bridge the gap between biomedical research results and clinical practice. Get the chance to work together with highly regarded research groups.

Combine fundamental human biology with clinical studies. You will be trained to bridge the gap between biomedical research results and clinical practice. Get the chance to work together with scientists from highly regarded research groups.

Human Biology at Radboud University connects fundamental biological research to clinical treatments. The courses will provide you with a solid background in human molecular biology and animal models, which you’ll apply in developing clinically-oriented research questions. As there’s an extensive collaboration between the Faculty of Science and the Radboud University medical center, you’ll become familiar with both perspectives. This Master’s specialisation starts off with three main topics: Translational Genomics, Molecular Therapeutics, and Stem Cell Biology. Thereafter, you can follow your own tracks, such as human physiology, to become optimally prepared for your biomedical internship of choice.

How do all different types of cells each perform their own specific task? The explanation lies in the epigenome: a heritable, cell type-specific set of chromosomal modifications.

How do all different types of cells each perform their own specific task? The explanation lies in the epigenome: a heritable, cell type-specific set of chromosomal modifications, which determines cell identity and regulates gene expression.

In this specialisation, you’ll look at a cell as one big and complex system. You’ll study epigenetic mechanisms during development and disease from different angles. This includes studying DNA and RNA by next-generation sequencing (epigenomics) and analysing proteins by mass spectrometry (proteomics). In addition, you‘ll be trained to design computational strategies that allow the integration of these multifaceted, high-throughput data sets into one system. You will learn how to work with state-of-the art technology in combination with biological software tools to study complete networks in cells in an unbiased manner.

Would you like to understand the brain from a multidisciplinary point of view? In this Master's specialisation, you'll study the brain across spatial scales, from molecule to whole human brains.

This specialisation crosses the boundaries of multiple subfields of biology, life sciences, medicine and behavioural sciences. You'll study the brain across spatial scales, from molecule to whole human brains. A large part of the programme consists of two research internships that can be performed at Donders Institute, focusing on neuroscience. As neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field, you will become acquainted with other disciplines next to medical biology. This will help you to develop the common ground that is necessary to communicate in a multi-faceted (research) team.
