The two-year Master's program Physical Biology of Cells and Cell Interactions (PBioC) is based on the mission statement of the Goethe University. Research and teaching take place at an international level and promote the acquisition of an in-depth research-oriented education in the fields of cell biology and physical biology. Scientific questions from the fields of cell biology and physical biology are combined with developmental biology, cellular structure biology, bioinformatics, biochemistry, immunology, neuro- and plant physiology. The Master's program provides students with an understanding of fundamental life processes from cell growth, cell-cell communication and differentiation to hormonal, inflammatory, angiogenic signaling and aging. These processes are studied in context of cells, tissues and model organisms. The experimental and conceptual approaches of the program include cutting-edge methods in cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, immunology and genetics, combined with various advanced microscopy techniques and applications, data analysis as well as physiology and morphological analysis.
