Overview

The Molecular Toxicology Master Program focuses on developing, disseminating and applying new research and theoretical knowledge in the fields of molecular, cell toxicology, environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology to improve prevention and treatment of human diseases, in addition to ensuring the protection of the environment and public health. This comprehensive approach, incorporating the recent achievements in both of the biological and physical sciences, offering exciting training and learning opportunities for graduate students and supports competitive research programs. The program provides a highly collegial and exceptionally collaborative research and training environment dedicated to the success and advancement of students and faculty. Molecular toxicology is a multidisciplinary subject involving the study of mechanisms for the action of environmental toxins on humans and other organisms and the behavior of these toxins in the environment. 

The Molecular Toxicology program provides students with expertise in at least one field plus a broad understanding of other specialties that contribute to addressing challenging issues in molecular toxicology. The program is expected to provide exceptional graduates who are capable to fill the gaps and meet the needs of this specialty in Palestine.

Goals

  • To provide students with an in-depth understanding of molecular genetics, molecular biology, and toxicological principles, including mechanisms of toxicity at the cellular and molecular levels.
     
  • To prepare graduates to conduct high-quality research in molecular genetics and toxicology using advanced molecular techniques, analytical tools, and bioinformatics.
     
  • To enhance analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and innovation in the study of genetic disorders, toxicological risks, and potential therapeutic interventions.
     
  • To emphasize ethical responsibility, biosafety, and good laboratory practices in research and professional activities related to molecular genetics and toxicology.
     
  • To prepare students for careers in academic research, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, regulatory bodies, and healthcare laboratories.

Career of Graduates

  • Join the teaching staff in the higher education colleges and universities. 

  • Join the staff in private and public research centers.

  • Join the R&D departments in the Industrial sectors like leading local and international pharmaceutical companies. 

  • Join medical institutions including hospitals and diagnostic medical Labs.
