Molecular and Cell Biology and Genetics

The Molecular and Cell Biology and Genetics programme from Masaryk University is a product of the fusion of former independent Molecular and Cellular Biology with General and Molecular Genetics.

This Molecular and Cell Biology and Genetics programme from Masaryk University  provides excellent scientific education in the field of molecular and cell biology and genetics. 

The graduates thus should be proficient to accomplish research of the nature of living phenomena on molecular, cellular, tissue and organismal levels. To achieve this aim, students are systematically guided to advance their theoretical knowledge in the field and master practical skills in applications of modern methods of molecular and cellular biology, genetics and other related fields. 

Career opportunities

Graduates find positions in various research institutes, universities, hospitals and other medical facilities and laboratories oriented to virology, microbiology, genetics, biochemistry, immunology, pharmacology, pathology, etc. They are ready to perform independent research, draft scientific projects, create grant applications, experimental work itself, including rigorous interpretations of results and presentations in oral as well as written forms. They are also educated to act as teachers. 

Graduates from this program are sought-after by employers and many of them currently work on positions of leading researchers, university teachers, top managers and directors in various research and education institutions in the Czech Republic. Many graduates leaves for postdoctoral stays abroad, especially to westeuropean countries, USA, Canada, Japan, Australia. They often become highly-appreciated members of research teams there.

The key themes include:

• the study of genes and genomes and their expression in microorganisms, plants, animals and humans.
