Education of Cell Biology and Immunology

BSc programmes for CBI include Biology, Biotechnology, Molecular Life Sciences, Animal Sciences, Plant Sciences, Food Technology, Nutrition and Health. MSc programs CBI teaches are Biology, Biotechnology, Molecular Life Sciences, Animal Sciences, Nutrition and Health.

The purpose of a thesis is to further develop your ability to analyse and solve a problem in a scientific way. In addition, a thesis serves the objective of obtaining knowledge and insight in a specific area of research.

Once you have chosen a research project, you will start the project with your supervisor. The supervisor is usually a researcher in our group. You will start by writing a research plan, after which you will perform experiments. The project is finalised with a report (MSc thesis) and a final presentation (a colloquium).

Within CBI our research focusses on a number of topics. By doing so we have an internationally well recognized position in veterinary immunology and food allergy research. We have a strong international group of (under)graduate students. This is also of benefit to our students, as their research project is well embedded and it is a good reference regarding future employment.

The main research themes of our laboratory are:

• (Food) allergy
• Immunomodulation by food and feed
• Veterinary immunology
• Immune cell dynamics

The MSc internship is a compulsory part of each study programme at Wageningen University. The aim is to gain experience outside our university. Our students have found internships all over the world. Internships abroad are usually found in universities or research institutes, but also Dutch companies offer internships. Are you interested in doing an internship under the supervision of CBI, please have a look at our ‘MSc internship Cell Biology and Immunology’ brightspace page.
