[NEW PROGRAM] Master's in Biobank Management

A biobank is a place where biological samples and health data collected from patients and healthy individuals with their consent are stored. Today, biobanks energize the biomedical research sector. That is why the BiomedTech engineering school announces the opening of a new Master's program in Management of Biobanks. This program covers the techniques, management and data handling of complex biological samples in hospital biobanks or private laboratory biobanks. The program's 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 provides its students with the knowledge necessary 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.
