Meet the people
'I chose Green Life Sciences (GLS) because I wanted to deepen my knowledge in the molecular aspects of biology. The GLS master focuses on molecular techniques with a specific emphasis on plants, which perfectly matched my interests.'
'The Green Life Sciences track appealed to me, because it allowed me to learn about the intricate molecular mechanisms which underly the development and functioning of plants.'
'We have new greenhouses in which we can control the climate and the light conditions in many independent units. In the photo above, cucumber plants are infected with the pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum. This fungus has a mobile chromosome with virulence genes, which makes it interesting research objects.'
Research institutes
The educational Master's programme in Biological Sciences strongly relies on the expertise of researchers from a range of research institutes, both within and outside the University of Amsterdam. For Green Life Sciences, these are:
