BSc Biosystems Engineering at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg

Biosystems Technology deals with the investigation and biotechnological / medical use of biological systems. Predominantly system and engineering-related tools such as mathematical modelling are used alongside modern molecular biology methods to, for example, better understand complex phenomena such as the regulation of metabolic pathways or the functionality of signal transmissions in cells. The knowledge obtained opens up new possibilities in the many areas of modern medicine and biotechnological production.
