The graduates have high level knowledge of the molecular and cellular biology and genetics of microorganisms. They also have more specialized knowledge of multicellular feature of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial populations and their intercellular signaling.

The graduates are well experienced in a wide range of different molecular and cellular biology methods, including modern methods of genome wide analyses and single cell techniques applied to different microbial species and culture types (OMICs methods: genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics). They can propose short-term research projects, carry out experiments and provide objective analyses of experimental results.

The graduates can be employed in both basic and applied research, including the medical and biotechnology sectors.
