Objectives

Professional status.

BIOLOGIST. The Course of Study in Biology prepares graduates capable of carrying out professional activities recognized by current regulations as the skills of the professional figure of the biologist (Section A of the professional register) and in all the specific fields of application as reported in paragraph 1 of the art. 31 of Presidential Decree 328 5 June 2001, (suppl. GU 190 17 June 2001) and in law 396 of 24.5.1967 on the regulation of the profession of biologist. The main employment opportunities provided by the Master's Degree Course in Health Biology of Applied Technologies and Nutrition are those set out below and which in any case do not exhaust the picture of the potential job market, and refer to:
- Professional activity in public laboratories and private in pharmaco-toxicological, biochemical, microbiological, genetic and cytological biological analyses.
-Activities aimed at scientific and technological innovation, as well as management and design of molecular technologies; to bioinformatics methodologies; to integrated knowledge of plant organisms, microorganisms and the environment; to the study and understanding of biological phenomena at the molecular and cellular level.
-Independent professional activities in the fields of nutrition and food safety; to biological and biochemical applications in the industrial field. Master's graduates in possession of the requirements established by current legislation will also be able to participate in the entrance tests for the training courses of teaching staff for lower and upper secondary schools. Master's graduates will also be able to:
- access, after competition, PhD courses
- access, after competition, specialization schools.

Obiettivi formativi specifici.

The Master's course in Health Biology of Applied Technologies and Nutrition has as its educational objective the preparation of graduates who, in addition to having a solid cultural preparation in basic biology in all its aspects, and in the various sectors of applied biology, are accompanied by knowledge relating to the healthcare sector, food and nutrition biology, molecular technologies and applied microbiology. The course includes a path common to the first year, in which students are provided with the fundamental knowledge and skills common to the learning areas considered. In the second year, there will be a division into curricula in which specific professional knowledge will be developed regarding specific sectors and linked to the reference areas. The specific training objectives of the course consist in offering the student the opportunity to acquire skills in the following areas: - Biological-healthcare (diagnostic and analytical, laboratory skills typical of the bio-medical and healthcare sector) - Molecular technology and Microbiology (application of methodologies genetic and molecular; use of microbial agents in the technological application field etc) - Biological-nutritional (food quality, physiology of nutrition, functional foods and biochemical processes) The training path provides the conceptual and technical tools to allow graduates to acquire the advanced knowledge and the theoretical-practical preparation necessary to operate at every level in applied and scientific activities regarding biomedical, cellular, pharmacological, environmental and applied microbiology technologies in general. The master's degree in Health Biology of Applied Technologies and Nutrition acquires skills that give access to different employment opportunities which concern: application of genetic and molecular methodologies; identification of microbial agents; biological, pharmacological, cytotoxicological and microbiological analyses; quality control in products of organic origin; environmental impact assessment.
Teaching will be divided into lectures and exercises, seminars and laboratory activities. Furthermore, part of the student's commitment, distributed over the two years of the course, is focused on carrying out the internship and the final exam which involves original research on biology topics, in a basic or applied context. During the thesis work the graduate student joins a research group actively participating in experimental work in a laboratory; 4 credits of linguistic ability (English) are also expected as further linguistic knowledge. The Master's Course in Health Biology of Applied Technologies and Nutrition, on the basis of the knowledge acquired, can hold positions of responsibility in both the public and private sectors; have the cultural basis to access (after competition) biohealth specialization schools recognized by the Ministry of Health (e.g. clinical pathology, clinical pharmacology, clinical biochemistry, microbiology), necessary for a managerial career in both public and public laboratory and biohealth fields. private, PhD courses in the biomedical field (e.g. Applied Biology and Experimental Medicine, Experimental and Molecular Pathology, Molecular Medicine) and II level Masters. For the training purposes that qualify the course of study, reference is made to the principles of European harmonization which require the correspondence of the exiting skills of graduates in the Degree Course, thus responding to the specific requirements identified by the Dublin Descriptor system according to the Table Tuning prepared at national level (CBUI College) for the LM-6 class.
