Master Degree in Medical Microbiology at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa

This Master Course is run in a collaboration between the Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical, Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica,  Faculdade de Ciências Médicas and Faculdade de Ciencias e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
ITQB researchers teach a course on "Microbial Genetics" in the first semester, with the following contents:

• Bacterial Molecular Biology
• Genes and genetic elements
• Regulation of gene expression
• Genetical analysis
• Recombinant DNA
• Methodologies for the study of gene function

A specialization in Bacteriology will also be coordinated by ITQB in the second semester.
