Master’s Programme Biomedical Life Sciences
Are you fascinated by the complex mechanisms of the human body and interested in exploring how cellular and molecular processes can be studied in model organisms or using stem cells?
The Master's programme in Biomedical Life Sciences provides you with an in-depth understanding of cellular and molecular processes in health and disease – from bioinformatics and stem cell biology to immunology.
You will learn cutting-edge techniques such as single-cell analysis, 3D cell cultures, live cell imaging, and computer-based modeling, and apply them in hands-on lab courses in small groups and in individual research projects.

FAQ
You will work with modern laboratory techniques and digital analysis tools, gaining a deep understanding of cellular processes and disease mechanisms. In addition, the interdisciplinary curriculum offers the flexibility to pursue your own interests and to prepare specifically for a PhD or direct entry into a professional career.
The Master's programme offers a broad range of topics – from development to aging, from simple model organisms to humans, and from fundamental cellular mechanisms to disease models.
This programme provides excellent preparation for a career in research, technology, industry, , and biomedically relevant governmental sectors. It opens the door to positions in research and teaching in the field of biomedicine or related disciplines, as well as scientific roles in private companies, public institutions, and public administration (e.g. in medicine, healthcare, food safety, forensics, or research funding).

From the field
A molecular fountain of youth for the brain
What happens in the brain as we age? Might it be at all possible to rejuvenate nerve cells? Seeking answers to these questions, a research group led by Frank Edenhofer at the Department of Molecular Biology has succeeded for the first time in observing mini-brains age.
