Testimonials

“The BIST Master has enabled me to broad my scientific knowledge in a wide range of areas, and to meet great people and scientists. Thanks to this experience I now have the tools to start my PhD at CNAG-CRG, where I will be under a multidisciplinary environment combining both wet and dry lab, as well as microscopy imaging!”

"The BIST Master was key for me to develop a more open-minded vision about science and gave me the opportunity to research as a PhD student at the University of Birmingham working with microbiologist, chemists and physicists."

"Thanks to the BIST Master I learned to think out of the box. That's what I do now as a PhD student in mechanobiology at @ibecbarcelona (the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia) with the support of a "la Caixa" Fellowship."

"The BIST Master was a very enriching experience and an eye-opener for me. Not only did we receive hands-on scientific and research training, but we also had the opportunity to hone other skills in highly dynamic sessions. We had the chance to engage with world-class scientists and it made me realise that solid collaborations among different scientific disciplines are key to solving complex questions underlying current global challenges."

"Thanks to the BIST Master, I obtained great experience in the lab and was able to become a teacher in one of the biggest universities in Argentina: Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN)"

"The BIST Master was key in my training as an independent researcher capable of facing today's questions. The tools acquired during this master have proven to be crucial for my current research as a PhD student at Harvard Medical School"

"Thanks to the BIST Master I had the opportunity to work in many different disciplines and make an informed decision about a PhD programme and a group that fit perfectly with my scientific perspective."
