The Program has been an integrative force that aims to tie together various disciplines and has strong links with the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, Engineering and the UCY Medical School.
The goal is to train our students to examine scientific problems from many perspectives empowering them to become, responsible, independent scientists, equipped with the technical, operational and professional skills needed to thrive in the modern biomedical workforce.
