Program Overview

The Master's program is implemented on the basis of an interdisciplinary principle, within the framework of both natural sciences (physics, mathematics, biology) and engineering areas. Neuro and biohybrid technologies lie at the intersection of neurophysiology, artificial intelligence, psychology and neuromorphic materials. A fundamental feature of the current stage of development of neurotechnology is the emergence of a new direction in science related to the creation of hybrid intelligence systems that combine the properties of evolutionarily formed natural intelligence and the capabilities of artificial intelligence. For the first time, the Program presents training courses that allow students to form an integrated system of modern knowledge and ideas in the field of neurotechnology and biohybrid systems.

Prospects. Career & Employment

Graduates of the program will receive the necessary competencies in the fields of biophysics, bioinformatics and neurotechnology, which will allow them to work, for example, on creating fundamentally new communication and control channels in the Brain-Brain and Brain-Computer interfaces based on a combination of principles of biological objects and artificial intelligence methods. Also, the specialists who have completed the training under this program will be employed in companies engaged in the development of artificial intelligence systems and the analysis of large data. In addition, the completed education will allow graduates to work in biomedical (Rostov Cancer Research Institute) and educational institutions. Graduates will be able to work successfully in leading research organizations, for example, the Institute of Age Physiology of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, as well as in large companies of the NeuroNet market.
You can be employed as:
  • Analytical chemist, Bioanalytical scientist, Business development manager, Chemical engineer, Chemical sales representative, Defence scientist, Environmental chemist, Food technologist
  • Geochemist, Industrial chemist, Inorganic chemist, Materials chemist
  • Nanotechnologist, Organic chemist, Patent attorney, Pharmaceutical chemist, Physical chemist, Policy analyst, Quality assurance officer, Toxicologist, etc.

Why is it important to pursue a higher education?

Bioinformatics and neuroscience are new and promising areas. They lie at the junction of biology, physics, computer science and mathematics and are of priority importance for the development of nano-bioinformatic cognitive technologies that form breakthrough directions in the development of various fields of science and technology and determine the content of a new technological order. Neuroscience focuses on the current problems of developing technologies for modeling highly complex dynamic systems, including models of the neuron and brain structures. These tasks have important applications for medicine and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as for robotics and artificial intelligence systems. Graduates can be employed in organizations that conduct fundamental and applied research in the fields of bioinformatics and neurotechnology. Also, specialists who have completed training under this program will be in demand in companies engaged in the development of artificial intelligence systems and the analysis of large amounts of data. In addition, the education they receive will allow graduates to work in biomedical and educational institutions.
