The second cycle department of The Higher School of Biological Sciences of Oran offers advanced training in three specialties: Molecular Biology, Enzymatic Engineering, and Immunotechnology.
The training program for the speciality: Molecular Biology allows students to deepen their practical and theoretical knowledge of nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites from various sources. They also learn to manipulate and transform these molecules for different purposes, such as producing metabolites of interest, developing molecular diagnostic methods, molecular identification of pathogens and genetically modified organisms, and exploring cutting-edge genetic engineering approaches, including various molecular cloning techniques and novel genome modification techniques. Students are encouraged to develop entrepreneurial and innovative skills to create start-ups based on their expertise.
In the training program for the speciality: Enzymatic Engineering, students focus on the study of enzymatic reactions, protein engineering, and enzymatic processes in various industrial sectors. They acquire skills in bioreactor design, enzyme purification and characterization, and the application of enzymatic engineering in agri-food, pharmaceutical, and other industries. Entrepreneurship and project management are also encouraged in this specialization.
Finally, the training program for the speciality: Immunotechnology, students specialize in fundamental immunology, metabolic biochemistry and regulations, as well as cellular and molecular signaling. Students learn techniques in biochemical analysis, purification, and characterization of biomolecules. Emphasis is placed on biomolecule engineering, immunogenetics, and the application of immunoinformatics and bioinformatics techniques. They are trained to work in fields such as biological therapy, pharmaceutical biochemistry, and biotechnological research.
Overall, the second cycle department of The Higher School of Biological Sciences of Oran offers advanced training programs that prepare students for careers in research, technological development, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, and self-entrepreneurship as well as in the creation of start-ups and PME.
