Utbildningsfakta

Kod: 4FF26

## About the programme The Master’s Programme in Translational Physiology and Pharmacology gives you an integrated knowledge of human physiology, pathology and pharmacology, with emphasis on mechanism-based therapies and drug development in a truly translational approach. The skill set acquired at the intersection of academia, applied science and industry is key to understanding human diseases and their treatments. This will make you an attractive and highly employable graduate, with strong potential to improve global health. ### Teaching and learning environment The curriculum gives you broad knowledge in translational aspects of physiology and pharmacology as well as practical skills in state-of-the-art methods and know-how. Teaching takes place in an international and world‑leading research environment at Karolinska Institutet. You will benefit from expert teachers, laboratory training, means of scientific communication, networking opportunities with the pharma and biotech industry, as well as further opportunities for an academic research career. While the first part of the programme focuses mostly on theoretical knowledge, the second part emphasises putting the skills into practice in preclinical laboratories, and in clinical or industrial settings. ### Industry and research collaboration The programme is characterised by close collaboration with pharma and biotech companies, providing supervision and industry placements for project work. It will give you ample opportunities through elective courses, individual projects, and thesis work to gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills, and lay the foundation for a niche expertise. Throughout the two-year programme, integration of knowledge and skills is highlighted to foster a mindset of translating molecular and mechanistic understanding from basic research to novel therapy.
