[NEW PROGRAM] Master in Biobank Management

A biobank is a facility where biological samples and health data collected from patients and healthy individuals with their consent are stored. Today, biobanks are invigorating the biomedical research sector. This is why the BiomedTech School of Engineering announces the opening of a new track: Master in Management of Biobanks. This is a program covering the technique, management, and data handling of complex biological samples within biobanks in public hospitals or private laboratories. The program curriculum meets the standards of the Ministry of Higher Education and involves both theoretical and practical concepts related to biobanking.

The Master in Management of Biobanks equips its students with the necessary knowledge to coordinate the technical and scientific aspects of a biobank, manage the data associated with samples, and develop a quality management system.

More specifically, this program aims to:

• Bring students to the forefront of knowledge on biobanks;
• Familiarize students with the organization, management, and operationalization of biobanks at the national level;
• Develop strong technical and managerial skills focused on biobanks;
• Understand sample management and the ethical and legal aspects of biobanks; scientific contributions in the field of sample science.
