Master
in Biodesign
More then Human Design
The Master's in Biodesign explores the potential of living systems and biomaterials to imagine new products, services, and experiences aligned with the ecological transition. Intersecting Biology, Design, and Sustainability, the course delves into the development of new bio-based materials and biofabrication practices, combining scientific rigor, critical thinking, and laboratory experimentation.
Through active research and design methodologies, seminars with international networks, industry, and the community, the program prepares professionals capable of transforming knowledge into concrete solutions for an emerging market with a sustainable awareness, where innovation, ethics, and environmental responsibility become a competitive advantage.
