Diploma in Molecular Biotechnology (MBIO) |
| Course Objectives |
Strong Emphasis On Molecular Bioscience MBIO provides a foundation in modern biological science. This foundation is built on core topics in areas like chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, cell culture, genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics. In line with advancements in life sciences, our course has a strong emphasis on molecular biosciences. Develop your area of interest, when you choose from a selection of electives, and two specialisation options in your second and third year of study. With the Bio-Entrepreneurship Option, you will address issues related to product development and marketing, as well as intellectual property management – areas gaining importance in a knowledge-driven economy. Alternatively, gain insights into the ground-breaking science of drug discovery and development, from the Biopharmaceutical Option. The Most Established Life Science Programme As the most established life science program in Singapore, MBIO gives you valuable experience from a large pool of existing industrial collaborations. Final-year students work on research projects, while undertaking their Industrial Attachment Programme (IAP) at the research and development laboratories of local universities, research institutes and life science companies. Through the school’s unique IAP-linked project scheme, students will be able to continue their research throughout their final year. Our MBIO diploma is highly regarded. Dr. Teo Hsiang Ling received the Philip Yeo Award (2007) in recognition of her research contributions. She completed her PhD in Structural Biology at Cambridge University and was a recipient of an A*STAR scholarship. |
