About the Program

Let’s move to the nanoscale! It is at this level of spatial resolution that 21st-century technology meets modern biology. Proteins, the mighty molecules in our cells and all life on Earth, are nanomachines encoded in a genetic language. They function at a much smaller scale and a greater efficiency than is currently possible with the available micro-technologies. Become a molecular bioengineer and learn how to engineer cellular machines. The Molecular Bioengineering programme brings together a novel combination of biology, biochemistry, biophysics, material science, medical science, bioinformatics, and nanotechnology. Join us and learn the fundamentals of biology, biomedicine, and bionanotechnology. Combine life science with technology. Explore biology to understand how nature engineers its mighty molecules. Use nanotechnology and computational biology to engineer nanomachines, tiny molecular factories, and biomaterials for medical and industrial applications.
