Molecular, Cellular and Health Biology
The Master’s Degree in Molecular, Cellular and Health Biology at Roma Tre University offers advanced training in the biology of living systems, with a strong focus on molecular mechanisms, cell function, and human health. The course integrates theoretical learning with practical skills in biomedical, nutritional, and biotechnological applications. Students are trained in high-level research environments and benefit from access to specialised laboratories and small group teaching. The Department of Biology has been recognised as a national centre of excellence, providing a strong foundation for academic and professional development.
The programme is organised around two thematic areas—Biomolecular and Biomedical—and includes seven specialised pathways: Molecular Biochemistry, Biosanitary, Biotechnological, Cellular and Genetic, Microbiological, Neuroscience, and Nutritional. Students develop core skills in genomics, microbiome analysis, cell culture, neurobiology, and imaging technologies, as well as scientific writing, bioethics, and data interpretation. The curriculum emphasises autonomy in research, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary collaboration, culminating in an experimental thesis based on original laboratory work.
Graduates are prepared for careers in biomedical research, pharmaceutical and biotech industries, clinical and diagnostic laboratories, environmental monitoring, and public health. They are also eligible for doctoral programmes or teacher training pathways. Professional roles include laboratory scientists, regulatory specialists, biomedical consultants, and research coordinators. Admission requires a relevant undergraduate degree and sufficient prior coursework in biology or related sciences, along with B2-level proficiency in English. The final assessment consists of the defence of a research-based thesis before an academic panel.
