LST Exchange minor Medical Biology

Profile of the programme

Medical Biology
Does a career in Medical Biology appeal to you? Do you want to learn all about the biological processes that are going on in the human body? Apply for the exchange programme Medical Biology! This programme starts every year in February.

During the exchange programme Medical Biology you will learn about the cells in the human body and their different biological processes in more detail. For instance about the two major pathways for triggering the blood clotting cascade, the pathology of our kidneys and livers and how autoimmunity and vaccines work.

Besides the theoretical modules, there is a large project in the laboratory. These projects differ from student to student, but are strongly linked to ongoing health-related research at the Research Centre Biobased Econnomy (KCBBE). Examples are the development of cell-based bioassays, antimicrobial activity of anthocyanins and the study of signal transduction pathways linked.
