Overview

Molecular medicine focuses on obtaining an in-depth understanding of the molecular basis of human diseases with the goal to develop new ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent them. One of the major goals is to develop new treatment strategies that can be tailored to subgroups of patients or to the individual patient, based on their unique genetic and molecular profile – also known as "precision- or personalized medicine".

The Molecular Medicine programme at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) aims to equip students with a solid foundation in molecular medicine, including hands-on training in molecular medicine methods, with direct application to the study of human diseases and their molecular mechanisms.

What can you become?

The MSc in Molecular Medicine is suitable for students motivated towards research or teaching in molecular medicine in particular, or in life science in general. The introduction to experimental and analytical methods is relevant to other academic fields as well, both nationally and internationally.
