Mestrado em Biotecnologia para a Bioeconomia

A Master’s degree in biotechnology is critically important. Modern biotechnology is an approach based on deep understanding of biological systems, organism interactions, and their interplay with environmental factors. Its ethical application develops products, processes, and technologies across sectors such as medical (e.g., gene therapy, vaccines), agricultural (e.g., GMOs, pest-resistant crops), industrial (e.g., biofuels, bioplastics), environmental (e.g., bioremediation), and food (e.g., plant-based proteins). It includes ecological approaches, or ‘ecobiotechnology’, leveraging natural processes sustainably. Modern biotechnology reduces reliance on synthetic chemicals, optimises natural cycles, and minimises pollution; it merges advanced technologies with nature-based solutions to address global challenges.
