SCOPE

Chemistry flourished in the 19th century, followed by Physics in the 20th century. The 21st century will certainly belong to Biomedical Sciences. The burst of genomic knowledge in recent years has placed us in a privileged position to embark on an adventure to elucidate the whole functioning of the cell at the molecular level, achieve the integrated comprehension of the metabolism in human beings, and to explore the limits of immunology and neuroscience. As a Graduate Program of excellence, we aim to prepare graduate scholars (both Master and Doctorate levels) specially trained to act decisively on the 21st century biomedical scene. To this end, we focus on the most vital aspects of scientific training: creativity, critical thinking, intellectual independence, ethics, and social responsibility.
