Target group

The Master's program in Molecular Cell Biology & Immunology (MCBI) conveys knowledge about the complex processes involved in the regulation of cellular and immunological processes in humans and animals. At the heart of this specialisation is the in-depth scientific examination of molecular mechanisms that control the functions and behaviour of cells and lead to diseases when they are defective. Experimental objects of investigation are model organisms such as Drosophila or Caenorhabditis and cell cultures of animal or human single cells. Knowledge or derivations are derived from experimental results, for example, about cell functions in cell aggregation, cell differentiation or organ development. The immunological processes are considered in particular in relation to disease-related malfunctions, such as are shown in immune defects or tumour immunology.

The language for the degree course is English, only a few optional courses are held in German.
