Master in Biomedical Surface Science

The program creates a platform for understanding the involvement of surface science in biomedicine and biotechnology. You will get theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the areas of biomedical activities that require expertise beyond the traditional disciplines of biomedicine, chemistry, or biology.

Active connections

The program is carried out in close collaboration with regional industry representatives and provides an up-to-date overview of research and development work in the area of biomedical technology. Education is conducted by researchers and lecturers who participate in an industrially relevant research network called Biofilms – Research Center for Biointerfaces. Our experimental facilities combine chemistry, cell and molecular biology, and bioanalytical laboratories.

Forms of study

We use different pedagogical forms with a strong focus on research questions in the development of biomedical products. Collaboration with the surrounding biomedical industry is carried out through CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, and Operate) projects.

What is Biomedical Surface Science?

Biomedical surface science refers to the knowledge and understanding of the theoretical and practical integration of surface chemistry in applied aspects of cell biology, immunology, molecular biology, and nanotechnology. Biomedical surface science also includes specialized knowledge of surface chemistry in applied areas of cell biology, immunology, molecular biology, nano-biotechnology, and colloid chemistry.

Major biomedical industries

Drugs and biotechnology:

• Small molecules — synthetic organic molecules
• Biologics — biological molecules made by living organisms (biotechnology)

Devices and diagnostics:

• Medical devices industry
• Diagnostics — IVD (in-vitro diagnostics)
