Profile
In the Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences master’s programme you are trained at the leading edge of drug-design and fundamental research of new drugs, optimization of existing drugs, and personalised medicine.Despite major advances in drug-research, many common diseases such as cancers, neurological diseases, cardiovascular disease and other auto-immune diseases, lack effective treatment, or are found incurable. You are trained for a scientific career in drug research and development. Depending on your interest, you can choose from seven specialisations to further extend your scientific training and theoretical background. The master’s programme of Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences (BPS) aims to train you in the research area of bio-pharmaceutical sciences and drug research in such a way that you have extensive knowledge and hands-on experience to be able to work independently as a scientific researcher. Moreover, you have a wide range of other career opportunities bio-pharmaceutical industry, science communication, and education.The master’s programme offers four major research specialisations corresponding to the disciplines of the Research Clusters of the Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research (LACDR):-BioTherapeutics: You are focusing on the development of new therapeutic approaches to treat immune-based disorders and state-of-the-art therapies using novel biologicals.-Drug Discovery and Safety: In this specialisation you focus on targeting hallmarks of cancer. We offer education into advanced systems microscopy technologies and clinically relevant model systems for target and drug screening in combination with cheminformatics for development of novel and safe drug leads.-System Biomedicine and Pharmacology: You will combine cutting-edge experimental training in the field of systems biology, and quantitative pharmacology education in the area of computational modelling of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic relationships.-Industrial Pharmacy: The master’s specialisation Industrial Pharmacy trains you in quality control and safety in the production of medicinal products.The remaining three BPS tracks consist of a research component in combination with another specialisation:-Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences and Business Studies: Combine training in BPS research with education in business and entrepreneurship.-Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences and Science Communication and Society: combine research with programmes in different aspects of science communication, such as journalism.-Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences and Education (taught partly in Dutch): prepare yourself for a career in teaching.
