Master’s degree at specialized departments and in research institution: the Research Center of Biotechnology RAS has all the necessary material and equipment, as well as highly skilled staff for the successful implementation of master courses. In order to integrate young scientists in research activities, the Research Center of Biotechnology RAS enhance the teaching activities at Moscow universities (M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Russian State Agrarian University−Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy).

1The Research Center of Biotechnology RAS has full-time postgraduate courses in the field of biology comprising five programs (biotechnology, including bionanotechnology; biochemistry; molecular biology; microbiology; mathematical biology; bioinformatics).

In order to improve professional skills of teachers and researchers from regional universities and institutions it is planned to develop additional vocational training, including work experience and internships.

Scientific schools for young scientists who have PhD and work in the research institution.
