Overview

During the Medical Biology and Clinical Genetics programme from Comenius University Bratislava, a student in this study programme acquires knowledge in medical biology, mechanisms, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and pathological processes that run in the human body. It studies the biological nature and heredity of pathological processes at the level of an organism (DNA, polymorphisms, mutations, variable use of genetic information) and cellular and subcellular (DNA, RNA, chromosomes, genes).

Career opportunities

Graduates are sought at the healthcare workplaces (clinics or departments of clinical genetics, workplaces of reproductive medicine, experimental oncology, workplaces providing biobanking of biological samples, workplaces focused on regenerative medicine, for example at the preparation of tissue replacements at clinics of burns and reconstructive surgery, and so on).

Graduates from the doctoral studies might find employment in the frame of education as university teachers or scientific research workers at universities focused on medicine, healthcare science, public healthcare and biology.
