General Objective
The general objective of the Master in Innovation in Biosciences and Bioengineering of Universidad San Sebastián is to train a specialist with the necessary knowledge and competences to develop scientific-technological research with an innovative approach in the fields of molecular biosciences and bioengineering.
Specific Objectives
Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that offers the possibility to design and develop new materials with advanced properties, driving an emerging economy based on knowledge, innovation and added value. Research in this area focuses on the development of technological applications and devices that take advantage of the properties of nano- and bio-materials to add new functionalities and uses in a wide range of scientific and productive fields, promoting the development of bio-businesses and the technological transfer of research to sectors such as mining, agro-industry, food, environment, energy and health.
Bioprocesses is a field that involves the application of chemical engineering principles to biotechnological processes. In this area, research is conducted on the development and optimization of innovative and eco-sustainable production processes that valorize natural resources through the use of biological catalysts and molecular biotechnology techniques. In addition, the development of technological solutions that respond to the impact of industry on the environment is studied, with emphasis on mining problems, water pollution and emerging pollutants. As a general purpose, these areas promote the development of bio-businesses and the technological transfer of research in the public-private sectors.
The graduate of the Master in Innovation in Biosciences and Bioengineering corresponds to a professional updated in knowledge and modern experimental methodologies of molecular biosciences and biotechnology, capable of applying and integrating these with the principles of engineering and bioprocesses to develop quality scientific-technological research.
Likewise, he/she is able to develop a critical attitude towards scientific work, with the competences to propose and execute with autonomy projects with a high innovative component in bioindustrial sectors, biotechnological companies, service companies, in the health area, in public or private research centers and universities.
