Welcome Lesson and links to the classrooms
Lessons will start on September 30 (look at the timetable in the section Academic year 2024-2025). The coordinator will give a welcome lesson at 11.00 AM (Italian time zone!) (Foreign students still abroad can follow this lesson in the Microsoft Team Classroom: Industrial Biochemistry and Bioinformatics).
The links to available microsoft Teams classes may be found here
Why enroll with us?!
1) sector studies (see Assobiotec reports at https://assobiotec.federchimica.it/) show that the Biotechnology sector is also rapidly expanding in Italy
2) Employment data reported by Almalaurea indicate that three years after graduation, 92.7% of graduates in Industrial Biotechnology (LM-8) in Italy are engaged in paid work. This figure is higher than the average for graduates in Medical Biotechnology LM-9 (88.1%), Agricultural Biotechnology LM-7 (87%) or in master’s degrees in the biological area LM-6 (84.9%);
3) Three years after graduation, between 2019 and 2023, employment data for graduates of the MSc in Biotechnology from the University of Rome Tor Vergata have always been higher than the national average (Almalaurea).
4) In 2023, 100% of graduates declared that they were overall satisfied with the course (ANVUR data)
5) The MSc in Biotechnology at the University of Rome Tor Vergata is the LM-8 course in Italy with the highest internationalization index (ANVUR data)
6) Our courses involve professionals from biotechnology companies and the world of Clinical Research to promote a connection between university teaching and the world of work
7) The Master’s Degree in Biotechnology offers a Curriculum in Clinical Research, unique in Italy. It is the first and so far the only Master’s program in Italy aimed at training students with all the necessary knowledge to perform essential and leading roles in the world of clinical research (Data Manager, Clinical Research Associate, Clinical Research Coordinator). All graduates from this curriculum have all found a very rapid job placement. Follow the link here for more information
Experimental Thesis in Neurobiology at the Laboratory of Prof. Antonella Ragnini
We are seeking highly motivated students to undertake a laboratory experimental study for Master Thesis (LM) in Biotechnology.
Possibility to start in September -December 2024.
Project Title: Study of the mechanism of action drugs promoting remyelination in cellular models.
Remyelination is the natural process that restores the myelin of damaged axons in the adult brain. Myelin can be disrupted during life as a consequence of injury, viral infection or disease progression. Remyelination can restore saltatory current and thereby neuronal function. Unfortunately, remyelination is incomplete as a consequence of disease progression or ageing. Cumulating data suggest that pharmacological intervention can be used to restore the ability of neural stem cells to mature into myelinating Ols. We previously selected some promising drugs that need to be studied to clarify their molecular mechanism of action (Al Jaf et al., Cells 2024). Understanding how remyelination occurs in adult CNS in normal and pathological conditions will open new avenues for the possibility of treating neurodegenerative diseases among which are Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson and ageing-related dementia. Drug screening, HTS imaging and analyses, qPCR and CRISP-CAS9 KO and Knock-in are among the methodologies that you will learn during the thesis.
