Biomolecular Engineering – Molekulare Biotechnologie
Curriculum
Molecular biotechnology is an interdisciplinary field within the natural sciences. Situated at the heart of the life sciences, it applies theoretical knowledge of chemical and biological processes to practical applications using engineering principles. On the one hand, new chemical methods, techniques and syntheses are developed to study biological processes at the molecular level. On the other hand, molecular biological methods are used to design biomolecules and specifically modify biological systems.
At TU Darmstadt, the degree programme is jointly run by the Departments of Chemistry and Biology. A key focus of the programme is the design of molecules and microorganisms for use in the field of biotechnology.
