Faculty, Department and Research environment

The Department of Biomedical Science at the Faculty of Health and Society (www.mau.se/bmv) offers education leading to a professional qualification as a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy and Biomedical Analyst (both at first-cycle level, 180 credits), and a Master's programme, Biomedical Surface Science (second-cycle level, 120 credits), as well as freestanding courses at first-cycle and second-cycle level. The department operates in the multifaceted meeting between biology, chemistry, pharmacy, medicine, physics and technology, and the interdisciplinary approach to research and education aims to further develop the theoretical and practical understanding of the complex subject. In this interaction between knowledge building and application, our students are out in pharmacies, clinics, hospital laboratories and at companies.  Based on the balance between basic and applied research, the department has also been successful in attracting funding from regional, national and international research funders. Our researchers are constantly challenging the boundaries between scientific specialisations, between basic and applied research, and between academia and industry.

The department's research is also connected to the “Biofilms - Research Center for Biointerfaces” (www.mau.se/brcb), which integrates biomedical and surface science with clinical and translational research in pharmaceutical, medical, dental, food, and environmental applications, working closely with regional industry
