What will you learn
Courses in the specialisation will provide you with a solid background in human molecular biology and animal models. You will apply this knowledge in developing clinically-oriented research questions. Thanks to extensive collaboration between the Faculty of Science and Radboudumc, you become familiar with both perspectives.
The specialisation starts off with three main topics: Translational Genomics, Molecular Therapeutics, and Stem Cell Biology. Once you have completed these, you can follow your own tracks to prepare for your internship of choice.
