Description

The program is based on the country’s need for an academic-professional program in the health area that provides the tools to develop research in areas of knowledge that can be applied to prevention, diagnosis, development of new therapies and/or innovation in biotechnological developments.

Aimed at students graduated from the following programs:

  • Biochemistry, Chemistry and Pharmacy, Medical Technology, Medicine, Biotechnology and other related careers.
  • Obstetrics, Occupational Therapy, Kinesiology and Nutrition.

Objectives

General Objective

To train professionals with solid scientific knowledge at the physiological, cellular and/or molecular levels of biomedical sciences in order to generate new knowledge with the objective of understanding and intervening in physio-pathological phenomena and to propose biotechnological, therapeutic and/or methodological solutions for treatment or diagnosis.

Specific Objectives

  • Master advanced theoretical-practical and methodological knowledge in biomedicine.
  • Critically analyze a biomedical problem and propose concrete solutions through the use of physiological, cellular and/or molecular tools.
  • Perform experimental research in the area of Biomedicine generating a link between basic sciences, clinical and/or biotechnological industry.
  • To act respecting the current regulatory framework and its ethical principles defined for the development of research.
