General objective:
THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO TRAIN NEW RESEARCHERS WITH THE CAPACITY TO DEVELOP INDEPENDENT, ORIGINAL AND CREATIVE RESEARCH. THE GREATEST EMPHASIS OF THE PROGRAM IS DIRECTED TO THE WORK OF THESIS, IN WHICH THE PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED MUST BE ADDRESSED BY THE GRADUATE THROUGH A THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH OF ADVANCED LEVEL, WHICH LEADS ITS EXPERIMENTAL ACTIVITY TO ITS PUBLIC RESULTS.
Specific objective:
- To provide the graduate with a solid education through basic (fundamental) courses in the area of cellular and molecular biology.
- To provide graduates with the ability to formulate a scientific problem, a hypothesis linked to it, and general and specific objectives that allow them to answer this hypothesis.
- To promote critical analysis and scientific discussion in different instances.
- To encourage graduates to connect with laboratories and research centers abroad through research stays and attendance at international conferences.
