Students can pursue an MSc in Biomedical Sciences, specializing in areas such as Reproductive Biology; Developmental, Cell and Tissue Morphology; or Biomedical Toxicology, Pharmacology, and Neuroscience. Thesis research projects offer diverse options, covering molecular, cellular, immunological, or developmental studies of growth and differentiation, as well as physiological, morphological, or biomechanical analyses of normal functions and disease processes across various organs and tissues. Pharmacological research may also explore therapeutic mechanisms and drug toxicology. The program offers two tracks: a standard two-year thesis-based MSc and a one-year MBS option combining coursework with a research project.
Neuroscience research within the department focuses on understanding pattern formation in brain development, uncovering new synaptic plasticity mechanisms, analyzing gene expression and signaling pathways in aging and Alzheimer's Disease, studying disease-related ion channel mutations, and investigating how sex hormones influence brain function.
