The Master in Biophysics and Quantitative Biotechnology is an official master of the School of Science (Facultad de Ciencias) of the University of Zaragoza, certified by the national agency ANECA (Spanish Agency for Quality Evaluation and Accreditation). The program has started in September 2021, as an upgrade of the previous master in "Quantitative Biotechnology". It has been designed and fostered by researchers at the School of Science and at the Institute for Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems (BIFI) of the University of Zaragoza, and it as a marked bias towards research, enabling the students to develop their own research project, and use the appropriate tools for that, especially during the Master Thesis Project ("Trabajo de Fin de Máster", TFM).

This Master addresses relevant topics in modern Biotechnology and Biomedicine:

• Drug discovery and development.

• Formulation of biotechnological products.

• Theoretical/computational modeling of biological systems; systems biology, biophysics.

• Bioinformatics and statistics; big data in "omics".

• Biotech start-up and spin-off companies: howto.

You will become acquainted to different experimental and theoretical tools:

• Modern advanced experimental techniques (biotechnology, biophysics, biochemistry).

• Simulation and modeling tools. You'll learn to write your own programs to analyze data or simulate system behavior.

• You'll use state-of-the-art lab technologies and computational resources, especially during the Master Project (see for instance the BIFI-Institute labs at https://www.bifi.es/scientific-equipment/
