During my studies at the University of Thessaly, I was really lucky to be selected for the MSc program “Advanced Experimental and Computational Biosciences” in the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology. It is an exceptional and intensive 2-year program, focused on people who would like to continue their academic trajectory to a PhD. It comprised a detailed overview of cutting-edge tools in biochemistry, molecular biology, and bioinformatics, as well as training on oral presentations and literature review (through weekly oral presentations and bi-weekly journal clubs).
