The primary objective of this program is to equip students with the ability to conduct independent research in the field of biotechnology. Doctoral candidates typically define their own research projects and focus on generating new knowledge in biotechnology. This program is designed for students aiming to pursue an academic career or work in research and development positions in the industrial sector.
In health sciences, particularly in fields such as pharmacy, biochemistry, medical biology, and molecular biology and genetics, the program aims to address how biotechnology can be utilized through a multidisciplinary approach. This includes preparing and applying biotechnological drugs (e.g., vaccines, peptide-based drugs, controlled and targeted drug delivery systems, monoclonal antibodies, etc.) and gene delivery systems, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic kits, chips, patches, prostheses, and various biotechnological and nanobiotechnological products intended for medical use. The program's main goal is to fill the gap in these areas and provide the necessary knowledge and expertise.
