MD Biology of Extreme Environments
Post-Laurea
The master’s degree course will train figures of high cultural and professional depth, whose activity can range from basic research, aimed at a greater understanding of biological phenomena in extreme and extraterrestrial environments, to the development of scientific and technological innovation, and the exploitation sustainability of the resources present in these. Graduates of the class will have specific training that will enable them to carry out professional and managerial activities within public and private research centers, national and international space agencies, and companies specialized in the field of genetic, biochemical, biological and technological exploration of extreme environments, such as polar, geothermal, and extraterrestrial ones, with a view to exploration, exploitation and colonization of the aforementioned environments. Currently, professional figures with this preparation are required both by national and international research centers, by space agencies and by biotechnological and biomedical industries, with an increase in demand expected in the next decade.
