Molecular Genetics and Biomedicine are fundamental areas of study for the well-being and increasing the average life expectancy of any human being. The knowledge acquired through studies in these areas saves the lives of millions of human beings every day.
From the analyzes and research carried out by professionals in this area, numerous solutions arise in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention phases of diseases, such as vaccines and medicines.
The Master's in Molecular Genetics and Biomedicine gives you the opportunity to actively participate in expanding the limits of scientific knowledge and make a positive and, sometimes, decisive impact on human and animal health, worldwide.

The Master's Degree in Molecular Genetics and Biomedicine is based on excellent research carried out in the Department of Life Sciences and the UCIBIO Research Center, at NOVA FCT.
The teaching staff associated with this Master's degree develops research in “cutting-edge” areas in the field of Life Sciences, namely in Microbiology, Molecular and Human Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Microbial Genetics, BioNanotechnology and applications to Biotechnology and Biomedicine.
Master student
"The quality of teaching, the international recognition of the Faculty and the internship opportunities at leading institutions were the origin of my choice for NOVA FCT. The master's degree offers a comprehensive perspective on the various areas of research and their respective application in the area of biomedicine. The wide range of optional curricular units allows me to better reflect on my interests and the direction I want to take".
Researcher at the Champalimaud Foundation
"The cooperation between students and the continuous assessment model were two of the major factors that made me choose NOVA FCT to continue my studies. The Master's in Molecular Genetics and Biomedicine emerged as the ideal choice, as it offers a comprehensive view of several areas of Molecular Biology, which allowed me to deepen my knowledge and better understand my interests. Another great strength of this master's degree is, without a doubt, the close relationship with the teachers, from which I benefited greatly to have different career perspectives".
The Master's Degree in Molecular Genetics and Biomedicine has collaborated since its inception with national and international higher education institutions and State Institutes, Research Institutes and companies, allowing students to carry out their dissertation work in these institutions.
