The Master in Biotechnology Management's core faculty of full-time professors are complimented by a number of part-time professors. The full-time tutors combine their teaching work with research projects in a variety of areas, whilst the part-time professors pursue successful careers alongside their teaching activities, occupying prominent positions in representative and prestigious companies in the biotechnology sector.
