Bachelor-Studium Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology

Wollen Sie helfen, die Lebensqualität von Millionen Patientinnen und Patienten weltweit dramatisch zu verbessern? Mit dem Bachelor-Studium Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology haben Sie die Chance dazu.

Die Biotechnologie ist einer der am schnellsten wachsenden Forschungsbereiche der Welt – qualifizierte Expertinnen und Experten, Managerinnen und Manager und Forscherinnen und Forscher werden daher dringend gesucht. Als Absolventin oder Absolvent haben Sie das Fachwissen, um an bahnbrechenden Innovationen in der Biotechnologie mitzuarbeiten.

Das Studium: Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc)

Der Studiengang wird in englischer Sprache geführt und umfasst naturwissenschaftliche, biomedizinische und technische Grundlagen in Form von Theorieblöcken und umfangreichen Laborpraktika.

Das Bachelor-Studium Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology gliedert sich in folgende Teilgebiete:

Medizinische Biotechnologie

Vorlesungen und Laborübungen in den Bereichen biochemische Prozesse, Zell- und Molekularbiologie und Gentechnik inklusive der verschiedenen Analysetechniken bilden eine fundierte Wissensgrundlage. Zusätzlich erhalten Sie einen Einblick in die Humanmedizin und in die pharmazeutischen Wissenschaften, um die Arzneimittelwirkung und deren Herstellung zu verstehen.

Pharmazeutische Biotechnologie

Ein wichtiger Teilaspekt des Studiums: Lehrveranstaltungen, die die theoretischen Grundlagen und die praktische Umsetzung von Prozessen in der biopharmazeutischen Industrie behandeln. Das beinhaltet unter anderem die Auslegung von biopharmazeutischen Produktionsprozessen und die Grundlagen der Planung von dazugehörigen Produktionsstätten.

Die Lehrveranstaltungen im Labor stellen einen Musterprozess aus der Industrie repräsentativ dar.

Qualitätsmanagement

Fehler in der medizinischen und pharmazeutischen Industrie können lebensbedrohlich sein. Fundierte Kenntnisse im Bereich des Qualitätsmanagements sind daher unentbehrlich.

Wirtschaftliche Grundlagen

Neben den grundlegenden wirtschaftlichen Kenntnissen wird in Vorbereitung auf ein interdisziplinäres Arbeitsumfeld ein Fokus auf Kommunikation und HR gelegt.

Praktisches Arbeiten in Industrie und Forschung ist ebenfalls Teil der Ausbildung.

Zu den Forschungsprojekten

Geschichten aus dem Studium

Biotechnologie leicht erklärt

Die Biotechnologie ist eine interdisziplinäre Studienrichtung und integriert Wissensgebiete aus Medizin, Chemie, Biologie, Physik und Pharmazie. Erkenntnisse aus dieser multidisziplinären Wissenschaft werden integrativ genutzt: So werden als Beispiel biologische Systeme für die Herstellung von therapeutischen Molekülen oder Antikörpern für Bereiche wie die Krebstherapie eingesetzt.

Neue Ansätze für bestehende Krankheitsbilder

Durch die Bereitstellung innovativer medizinischer Wirkstoffe und Diagnoseverfahren hat sich die Biotechnologie in den letzten Jahren zu einer Schlüsseltechnologie der Zukunft entwickelt.

In der medizinischen Biotechnologie stehen zunehmend Stammzellen oder das Züchten von Geweben im Forschungsfokus. Dadurch lassen sich Krankheiten behandeln, die bisher als unheilbar galten.

Dementsprechend ist auch die medizinische und pharmazeutische Biotechnologie stark fachübergreifend. Sie konzentriert sich aber im Speziellen auf die Naturwissenschaften, auf Biomedizin und Technik.

Studiengangsleiter Harald Hundsberger

Erfolgskonzept: Theorie + Praxis

Das Studium umfasst 3 Säulen:

1

Die Grundlagen

In den Semestern 1-4

Im Zuge Ihres Studiums setzen Sie sich mit allen Themen der medizinischen und pharmazeutischen Biotechnologie auseinander. Am Beginn des Studiums lernen Sie die Grundlagen der Naturwissenschaften, Biomedizin, Technik und Analytik kennen, um sich danach vertiefend mit der Materie auseinanderzusetzen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigen Sie sich auch mit Qualitätsmanagement, wirtschaftlichen Grundlagen, Kommunikation und Social Skills.

Außerdem verbringen Sie von Anfang an viel Zeit im Labor. In kleinen Gruppen machen Sie sich mit den wissenschaftlichen Abläufen vertraut und setzen das Gelernte gleich praktisch um.

2

Das Praktikumssemester

Im 5. Semester

Im 5. Semester absolvieren Sie ein 20-wöchiges Pflichtpraktikum. Mehr als 50 % der Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Studierenden absolvieren ihr Praktikum im Ausland bei internationalen Unternehmen, Forschungseinrichtungen oder Universitäten.

Vor und während des Praktikums werden Sie von uns betreut: Das Einzelcoaching mit unserer Praktikumskoordination ist darauf ausgerichtet, Ihre Stärken und Entwicklungspotenziale zu erkennen und darauf aufbauend gemeinsam den geeigneten Praktikumsplatz in einem nationalen oder internationalen Unternehmen zu finden.

Mehr Auslandserfahrung gefällig? Ab 2020 können Sie sich im 3. oder 4. Semester für ein Exchange-Semester an einer namhaften Universität wie dem Dublin Institute of Technology (Irland) oder der Linköping University (Schweden) entscheiden.

3

Die Spezialisierung

Im 6. Semester

Gegen Ende Ihres Studiums entscheiden Sie sich für eines der 2 Wahlfächer: Production of Therapeutic Proteins im Bereich der medizinischen Biotechnologie oder Drug Development Management im Bereich der pharmazeutischen Biotechnologie.

Das Ziel der medizinischen Biotechnologie ist es, beschädigte Zellen oder Organe nicht durch Transplantationen oder Dialyse zu behandeln, sondern durch natürliche Körperzellen. Die pharmazeutische Biotechnologie setzt sich mit der Produktherstellung und Handhabung auseinander. Antibiotika, die mithilfe von Mikroorganismen in großen Bioreaktoren hergestellt werden, sind Beispiele für traditionelle biotechnologische Produkte, die in der Pharmazie verwendet werden.

Kompetenzbereiche

Nach Abschluss dieses Bachelor-Studiums verfügen Sie neben fundierten fachlichen und wissenschaftlichen Fähigkeiten auch über sehr gute praktische Fertigkeiten.

Lösungen für aktuelle Problemstellungen finden

Biotechnologie versetzt Sie in die Lage, Probleme zu lösen, auf die in der Medizin bis heute keine befriedigenden Antworten gefunden wurden. Die Entwicklung von Antikörpern für die Arthritis-Therapie oder die neuen Technologien zur Hauttransplantation und Knorpelzüchtung haben die Lebensqualität von Millionen Patientinnen und Patienten weltweit entscheidend verbessert. Dies sind nur die ersten herausragenden Erfolge einer noch jungen Disziplin.

Fachlich kompetent auftreten

Im Bachelor-Studium entwickeln Sie Ihre Fachkompetenz auf dem Gebiet der Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology. Sie erlernen die Eigenschaften technischer und biologischer Materialien sowie deren Interaktionen, die Grundlagen der Elektrotechnik, Messtechnik in der Bioprozesstechnologie, Steuer- und Regeltechnik sowie des Anlagenbaus und der Prozessentwicklung in der Industrie. Somit sind Sie gerüstet für das praktische Arbeiten in Industrie und Forschung.

Wissenschaftlich fundiert arbeiten

Forschung hat in Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology einen sehr hohen Stellenwert. Deswegen vermitteln wir Ihnen die wissenschaftlichen Kompetenzen, um Forschungsprozesse nachvollziehen und erfolgreich mitgestalten zu können.

Besonders auf Qualität achten

Während Ihres Studiums erlangen Sie fundierte Kenntnisse des Qualitätsmanagements, hier beispielswiese die gesetzlichen Bestimmungen in der pharmazeutischen Industrie, die Reinraumschulung für die richtige Arbeitsweise im Reinraum und das Reinraum-Monitoring.

Interdisziplinär denken

Die medizinische und pharmazeutische Biotechnologie ist grundsätzlich ein sehr disziplinenübergreifender Fachbereich. So werden auch Erkenntnisse aus der Mikrobiologie, Biochemie, Molekularbiologie, Genetik, Bioinformatik, den Ingenieurwissenschaften und der Verfahrenstechnik berücksichtigt.

Interdisziplinäres Zusammenarbeiten und Denken wird Sie also auch in Ihrem Arbeitsalltag begleiten und wird daher bereits im Studium stark gefördert.
