The master study program Biochemistry is designed to qualify professionals for further academic advancement based on the knowledge acquired through undergraduate and master’s level studies, and to provide profound knowledge and skills in biochemistry to qualify for professional positions as biochemists in pharmaceutical, chemical and other biochemistry related industries and the public sector, and to acquire such a standard of knowledge and competencies to continue studies in doctoral study programs.

The LMB is of multidisciplinary (polyvalent) character. It encompasses the study main fields of lab diagnostics: Lab Biochemistry, Hematology, Immunohematology, Hemostasis, Immunology, Microbiology, Genetics, etc.

The aim of the single-cycle degree course in CTF (PCT) is to provide students with an advanced level of multidisciplinary training for the pursuit of highly qualified activities in the field of pharmaceutical sciences. The multidisciplinary nature of the knowledge enables the graduate to enter various sectors of the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical-food, and cosmetic industry, as well as to work as a Pharmacist and Chemist, or to carry out professional activities in the pharmaceutical, pharmacological, and (bio)chemical fields. School teaching is not precluded. The training pathway aims to train a professional figure capable of operating in complex realities with adequate tools of critical knowledge, and analysis and with specific evaluation and implementation planning skills.

The Master's in Genomics and Genetics aims to meet the demand for highly qualified professionals for the genomics and genetics sector, which is increasingly established in our society.

Medicinal Chemistry – interdisciplinary area of studies and scientific research, which involves chemistry, biology, pharmacy and other sciences for creation and development of new medicines. The scope of the programme is preparation of qualified, motivated and creative specialists, who have deep knowledge of chemistry and research skills, are able to formulate and solve the issues of medicinal chemistry science and pharmaceutical industry, seeking to work at the high tech scientific and industrial companies, which produce and supply pharmaceutical preparations, or to continue their education in doctoral studies.

Neuroscience, in its applied field, adopts an interdisciplinary character, receiving theoretical and practical influences from Medicine, Biology or Engineering, among others. Currently, these interactions of different disciplines on Neuroscience have allowed the research processes to advance with the incorporation of new analysis methodologies, applicable to the analysis of image data.

If you search for a deep understanding of microbial and other biological systems, driving from molecular and cellular organization of individual or community to apply in different areas (Environmental, Industrial and Biomedical) then come and seek your tools in the Microbial and Molecular Biology (MMB) Master Program.

The Master´s course in Microbiology aims to provide students with advanced skills in fundamental and applied microbiology. This is an area in which knowledge is rapidly expanding, incorporating high technological innovation and integrating several areas of the biology, such as genetics, molecular biology and immunology, among others. In this context, the training of specialists must cover the different domains in which the impact and action of microorganisms are recognized as relevant, namely, in industry, in the area of human health and in the protection of the environment.

The search for new drugs to combat serious illnesses is an important and exciting challenge at the forefront of medical research. As a medicinal chemist, you can have a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of millions of people worldwide.
