Bioengineering Program

The Master’s programme in Biotechnology focuses on the interface between chemistry, biology and medicine with engineering as a common working tool. The programme will provide students with competencies in the use of engineering principles in the analysis and manipulation of biological systems to solve problems across a spectrum of important applications. The programme thus covers a broad range of subjects, from genetics to process engineering provided by experts at the Departments of Chemical and Biological Engineering and Applied Physics at Chalmers and the Cell and Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Pharmacology units at Göteborg University. Programme

There are three specialisations within the programme, Biomedicine & Biotechnology, Food & Health, and Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering.

The Biomedicine & Biotechnology track concentrate son studying protein characterisation and structural determination, which are essential for a rational approach to drug design and for a deeper understanding of the subtle chemistry of enzyme-catalysed reactions within the cell.

The Food & Health track focuses on the physical, nutritional and technical aspects of food handling, from raw materials through to the consumer, with a special focus on the causal relationship between food intake and health/disease.

The Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering track offers an interdisciplinary education which gives student breadth in the overall subject area, yet depth in the specific topics of traditional biotechnology and materials for medical devices and tissue engineering.

The practical applications of biotechnology include age-old techniques such as brewing, fermentation and cheese-making, which are still important today. The introduction of new techniques based on fundamental biological research has resulted in major advances. Microorganisms and cells (or parts thereof) are used to produce valuable products, and new medicines are the products of biotechnology. In recent decades, gene modification has revolutionised the biotechnology industry, giving rise to countless new products and improving established process
