Dear Candidates,
It is our great pleasure to invite you to explore the new Master's Program in cutting-edge topics, “Precision Medicine and Novel Therapies”, which is jointly offered by the School of Science and Technology of the Hellenic Open University (HOU) and the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens (BRFAA), and set to commence in March 2025.
You will have the opportunity to attend presentations from the Program Steering Committee and the Lecturers, thus gaining insights into the program's interdisciplinary approach, objectives, content, structure, and the educational methodologies employed.
Moreover, you will also receive a comprehensive tour of the BRFAA facilities, to help you familiarize with the research activities and equipment available in the laboratories; within these, you will have the opportunity to perform research protocols and projects related to your studies.
This Masters Program is designed so that trainees will acquire specific scientific and analytical skills in collecting and evaluating laboratory data from disease models and/or patients, in planning ideal treatments in the context of Precision Medicine, in scientific writing and presentation, in experimental/clinical design, as well as the clinical utility of biochemical and genetic analyses in decisions of personalized pharmacotherapy.
We look forward to welcoming you!
