MASTER DEGREE IN GENETIC SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGIES
Coordinator: prof. Gennaro Marino (former Dean of the School of Biotechnology of Università di Napoli "Federico II"; member of Accademia dei Lincei).
Biogem acquired the qualification of Training Organization pursuant to Decree n.172 of 04/11/2011 of the Campania Region Employment and Education Agency.
Master Degree Course in Genetic Sciences and Technologies (active from the 2006/2007 academic year to the 2018/2019 academic year) in agreement with the Universities of Bari "Aldo Moro", of Foggia, of Naples "Federico II" and of Sannio. The course, with limited number of places, took place in a residential setting with curricular teaching and additional experimental activities, master's lectures and with the participation of students in Biogem's cultural and scientific activities. Over the course of 12 years, 140 students graduated, all within the duration of the course of study, with research theses almost always evaluated with full marks and honors. Many of these students were then able to access prestigious doctoral schools in Italy and abroad. The University of Sannio, formerly the administrative headquarters of the aforementioned course of studies, in 2018 activated the Master Degree Course in Genetic and Molecular Biotechnology in agreement with the University of Naples Federico II and with Biogem that offers its laboratories for some practical activities and experiments for degree theses. The establishment of a master's degree course in "Computational and Quantitative Biology" with the participation of universities of Campania and high schools is in progress.

The structure of the degree course and the possibility of interfacing directly with the staff of the Biogem research areas have significantly contributed to my personal and professional growth. Furthermore, the organization of numerous seminars, held by important personalities from the scientific world, has helped to stimulate and enrich my interest in research.
TERESA MARIA ROSARIA NOVIELLO
"The experience at Biogem was unforgettable. I met extraordinary people, extremely competent professors and researchers and I created personal relationships that I am sure will last for a lifetime. The teaching experience was extremely formative and allowed me to cultivate my passion for Bioinformatics, now the subject of my PhD. Biogem trains researchers who are appreciated not only in our country but also abroad. My curriculum has been greatly appreciated by all the professors with whom I have sustained interviews for PhD positions abroad. They have recognized the uniqueness of the Master's course in Genetic Science and Technologies and the preparation that the course provides to those who are part of it ".
MIRCO MARTINO
"The Biogem experience was formative both on an academic and human level. There was a lot of knowledge acquired through courses and seminars, as well as the friendships that still remain. The possibility of meeting important scientific figures, such as Nobel laureates, to constantly interact with researchers, professors and your own colleagues, are the strengths of this degree course, as well as the subdivision of the contents within the semesters, from biomolecal studies, up to model organisms, and the possibility of using (in my case twice) a network of international relations for European exchange programs (eg Erasmus +). The Arianese are very welcoming and although at the beginning it was difficult to settle in a small community and live in a small town, in the end there are many good memories that bind me to Biogem and Ariano, which have also contributed considerably to my scientific career ".
ANIELLO FEDERICO
"I would like to recommend the Genetic Sciences and Technologies course of study to all those who, after the first cycle of studies, want to acquire knowledge from a more practical perspective than most of the equivalent training offers. Besides the teaching activities, which I personally appreciated for their interdisciplinarity and for the direct relationship established between students and the scientific staff (faculty, tutors, lecturers), it was possible to practically get first hand experience of the activities of the various laboratories at Biogem. We could observe and then personally contribute to the design and implementation of real laboratory "tasks", always under the superb supervision of those who deal with this environment on a daily basis. We had the opportunity to "experience" life in a research lab at 360 °, which has helped me develop useful skills for the continuation of my academic career ".
ANTONINO DE MICHELE
"An excellent experience in the laboratories and premises of the animal facility used for scientific research".

"Attending the degree course in Genetic Sciences and Technologies was certainly a unique experience. Beyond the excellent quality of the teachers, one is constantly involved in the life of the institute from the point of view of research and extracurricular activities. Among the most significant experiences, how not to mention the possibility of meeting two Nobel laureates such as Erwin Neher and Oliver Smithies, an excellent example of how often behind the most extraordinary results you find disarmingly humble persons".
ANGELA TERRAMEA
"The training course at Biogem was essential to learn the laboratory methodologies".
LUISA ULLOA SEVERINO
"The experience at Biogem is unforgettable. I owe most of my knowledge to the researchers I met there who have always been ready to pass on their knowledge. Biogem is a completely different reality from a canonical university, because in this course there is great opportunity to do plenty of laboratory practice, besides great theoretical lectures given by the best professors from partner universities. I have grown in the institute not only from a cultural point of view, but also from a human point of view ".

"In life it is important to meet people who can help you grow and mature. At Biogem, when I was a student there, with that incredible faculty, I found the ideal conditions to grow professionally and become competitive at high levels in my sector. I keep a pleasant memory of all the people I met at Biogem and in particular Prof. Pasquale De Luca who was not only my thesis supervisor, but also an example to follow as a person and as a professional".
CARMELO LAUDANNA
"I was one of the first students enrolled in the degree course in genetic sciences and technologies and it was exciting to witness to the birth and development of this project that now has become a well-established reality. I remember that together with my colleagues in the first cycle we had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience of what life in a Research Center is like. We were personally involved in the various laboratory activities (sometimes contributing to their creation). A unique experience in every aspect of my life, professional and otherwise ... A really important starting point for my career".
