Master in Drug Discovery and Development (Master)

Students of this programme explore modules like 'Arzneimittelindikationen' and 'Molekulare Pharmakologie' led by Dr. Jan Matthes, a specialist in pharmacology and toxicology. These modules cover topics such as calcium channel blockers, arterial hypertension, and coronary heart disease. The programme is ideal for those who want to understand the molecular mechanisms of drug action and their therapeutic applications. The curriculum is enriched by cutting-edge research in areas like heart failure and autism, conducted using techniques such as the patch-clamp method, allowing for real-time observation of ion channel functions. Students will develop skills in pharmacology, molecular biology, and communication with patients, ensuring they are well-prepared for careers in drug discovery and development. The programme’s emphasis on both research and education prepares students for roles in academia, industry, and healthcare.
