Objectives

The Doctoral Program in Biomedicine aims to provide multidisciplinary training to university graduates with degrees in Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmacy, Physics, Medicine, Dentistry, Chemistry, Veterinary and Engineering in the field of biomedical research. Its particular emphasis is on understanding the molecular mechanisms which cause diseases, as well as on developing optimum strategies for their treatment and cure.

The specific objectives of the program are:

• To provide a Doctoral Program which allows molecular and cell research to be applied to the understanding, prevention and/or treatment of human disease
• To produce biomedical scientists with the ability to link basic and clinical research
• To train scientists in the area of university/business interaction (R+D management and research foundations)
• To train scientists who wish to work as teachers in the biomedical field
• To facilitate and promote transferable research
