- Strategically research fundamental aspects with possible applications in mind
- Have qualitative and quantitative insight into the genetic, cellular, biochemical and molecular-biological processes in living matter in order to understand and manage the interactions between organisms and between organisms and their environment
- Apply biotechnological principles for eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells and organisms in industrial fermentation processes, environmental sanitation, food, fine chemistry, human health, plant breeding, animal husbandry, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry
- As engineers of living matter make the unique connection between the knowledge of the biological world and the engineering sciences, in both a research & development context and an industrial environment, in order to enable (industrial) upscaling (e.g. via cell and tissue cultures, bioreactors or mass cultivation)
- Know, understand and apply molecular techniques and diagnostics (protein, RNA or DNA based), for the detection of micro-organisms in the environment, the detection of fraud in food or in breeding, the identification of hereditary or infectious diseases, to make the modification or breeding process faster and more efficient
- Have in-depth knowledge in biomedical biotechnology, plant biotechnology, microbial biotechnology and/or computational biology
- Identify and analyze problems in cell and gene biotechnology and formulate clear research questions with a view to achieving effective and potentially applicable solutions
- Consult and critically interpret professional literature according to scientific standards
- Select, adapt or, if necessary, develop the appropriate analysis methods and process techniques
- Extract yseful information from excessive, incomplete, or conflicting data
- Plan, monitor and adjust scientific research
- Accurately collect, scientifically process, critically analyze and interpret data in accordance with the principles of scientific integrity
- Identify new or remaining bottlenecks and research questions based on knowledge, insight and experience
- Use one's own knowledge creatively, purposefully and innovatively in research, design and production
- Argument scientifically in a multidisciplinary context
- Demonstrate openness to new scientific developments and their applications in a broad scientific, economic and social context
- Adopt an active and honest attitude towards permanent knowledge development, lifelong learning and independently steer one's own learning process
- Have the required social and communication skills to work in a team
- Collaborate and display early leadership in a multidisciplinary environment
- Communicate clearly in writing and orally about one's own discipline in Dutch and English
- Act ethically, professionally and socially responsible, also in an international or intercultural environment
- Function autonomously within a short period of time in scientific research, in industrial functions, at consultancy firms, NGOs and government institutions
- Consider sustainability aspects and social preconditions when developing a high-quality system, product, service or process
- Situate the societal and ethical impact of biotechnology, including biosafety regulation
- Have insight into aspects of patenting and property protection of molecular biotechnological inventions and realizations
- Design, plan and execute an engineering project at the level of a starting professional in an independent and result-oriented manner
- Understand the complexity of a problem/system using quantitative methods
- Assess the risks and technical feasibility of a project
- Integrate biological, physico-chemical, technological, economic and ecological aspects into research, production, quality management, management or policy
