MSc in Life Science & Technology at Leiden

Life Science & Technology investigates the processes that occur in living cells. The cell is the basic building block of life, the smallest unit bearing the characteristics of a living system. Increased knowledge of the mechanisms of the cell can lead to cleaner industry, to better medicines, to new strategies for combating disease and to ways of isolating enzymes in order to improve food.
