Learned in English and offered by ULiège, the master's degree in biomedical sciences with a specialization in biomedical data management also benefits from the University of Namur's Faculty of Computer Science's recognized expertise in data management.

This orientation leads to a specialization in medical data management.

Why choose this program?

  • A gateway to bioinformatics, which has become central to research fields;
  • A shortage of specialized professions;
  • Synergies with the University of Namur's Faculty of Informatics in both teaching and research ;
  • The strengthening and development of research projects within the Institut namurois de recherche sur le vivant (NARILIS) at the University of Namur and the Centre interdisciplinaire de recherche biomédicale (GIGA) at ULiège.

Your objectives

  • Lead scientific projects aimed at better understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of pathologies and improving treatments: Analyze data, interpret results and share discoveries with the global scientific community;
  • Control all stages in the development of new therapies, in particular biotechnological or cellular therapies;
  • Develop biomarkers linked to different therapies, for example using genetics and pharmacogenomics ;
  • Direct and control preclinical or clinical trials and be responsible for the administrative management of trials;
  • Assure the quality of production of biotechnology and biosimilar products, cell therapies (stem cells), gene therapies, tissue engineering, medical devices (implants, drug delivery devices....)... ;
  • Check the quality, safety and efficacy of a drug before it is put on the market.

Career opportunities in biomedical sciences

The biomedical sciences can lead to many different careers, mainly in research, whether basic or applied. This research is carried out in universities, teaching hospitals, government agencies (e.g. public health institutes, drug and health product agencies, health policy organizations...) and in laboratories in the biopharmaceutical, biotechnology, nutrition, cosmetics and medical equipment sectors.

Fundamental biomedical research aims to understand, through an experimental approach, how the human being functions at the level of cells and molecules. Its findings may one day lead to clinical applications.

Applied biomedical research puts advances in basic research into practice. Its aim is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. For example, it may aim to design new vaccines or diagnostic tests. It also opens the way to careers in the pharmaceutical or cosmetics industries.

Clinical research management involves setting up and coordinating clinical trials in hospitals, clinical research organizations and the biopharmaceutical industry, and can lead to the following careers:

  • clinical trials assistant: assists investigating physicians in conducting clinical trials;
  • clinical project manager: executes the clinical trial development plan, in compliance with regulations and deadlines;
  • clinical research associate: sets up and monitors clinical trials for a particular project, while ensuring the quality of data collected in compliance with regulations;
  • data manager: manages the processing of data obtained as part of the clinical trial.

In addition to research, the clinical sector offers a wide range of other careers: toxicology, nutrition, clinical biology, bioengineering, medical imaging, etc., as well as medical data management.

Biomedical sciences can also lead to many other opportunities in the fields of research and development, production, quality assurance and control, regulatory affairs, intellectual property, consultancy, medical representation, teaching...

Finally, the Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences enables you to continue your studies at postgraduate level (Doctorate) or take an inter-university certificate in Regulatory Affairs for Health Products, offered jointly by UNamur and ULiège.
