生物技术和基因组学商业与科学硕士

攻读生物技术和基因组学的商业与科学硕士学位（MBS）的目的是教育学生掌握管理应用和利用分子生物学（包括生物技术）的行业中的技术开发和商业应用的基本技能，基因组学和蛋白质组学，生物化学，细胞生物学，系统生物学和纳米生物技术。生物技术是一种快速发展的变革性技术，已广泛应用于医疗，制药，农业，替代能源，环境监测和修复以及纳米技术等行业。特别是，生物技术现在是支撑新药物和医学诊断与治疗方法发展的主要技术。基因组学是对整个基因组（生物体的整个遗传补体）的研究，并专注于生物体或生态系统中所有基因的结构和行为。基因组学
The objective of the Master of Business and Science degree (MBS) with a concentration in Biotechnology and Genomics is to educate students in the essential skills for managing technical development and commercial applications in industries that apply and make use of the molecular biological sciences, including biotechnology, genomics and proteomics, biochemistry, cell biology, systems biology and nanobiotechnology. Biotechnology is a rapidly moving transformative technology that has applications in industries as diverse as healthcare, pharmaceutical development, agriculture, alternative energy, environmental monitoring and restoration, and nanotechnology. In particular, biotechnology is now the predominant technology underpinning the development of new pharmaceuticals and medical diagnostics and treatments. Genomics is the study of whole genomes (the entire genetic complement of an organism) and is focused on the structure and behavior of all the genes in an organism or ecosystem. Genomics is an application of biotechnology that has developed in the last 10 years and places a particular emphasis on understanding how very large numbers of genes interact with each other and with their environment. Genomics has been made possible by new and rapidly evolving developments in structural and analytical methods (e.g., ultra-high throughput DNA sequencing) along with the development of the computational approaches needed to handle large datasets. Genomics is rapidly finding applications in industry (e.g., in developing personalized medicine, finding new drug targets or searching for novel industrial enzymes in exotic microflora).
