GET TO KNOW YOUR PROGRAM

Graduates from the Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences are scientists who create knowledge to establish novel and innovative technologies that are relevant for the health sector, and understand basic phenomena within the field of Biomedical Sciences. They work as leaders or as collaborators within national and international research groups, on areas such as physiopathological mechanisms for discovering therapeutic targets, markers, and diagnosis, trial-running new pharmaceuticals, and designing therapeutic devices among others. The findings of their discoveries are important outcomes which should be submitted for peer-reviewed and academic publication, patents or conference proceedings. This knowledge transference as well as all of their professional activities follows legal, ethical and official norms.

To be admitted into the Ph.D. and Master in Biomedical Sciences programs, applicants must meet the following requirements: A Bachelor’s Degree in Medicine, Biomedicine, Biotechnology, Bioscience, Nutrition, Biomedical Engineering, Pharmacy, Biology, Nursing, Chemistry, Physics, or related fields.

Comply with the comprehensive evaluation required in the admission process, through an interview conducted by the admissions committee of the graduate program. In addition, the following is necessary:

  • Simple copy of the Bachelor´s degree and/or Master's degree Certificate, where the following information is indicated:

GRADUATE PROFILE

At the completion of the program, students will be able to:

  • Understand the application of biomedical sciences and research methodologies on areas of physiopathological mechanisms for discovering therapeutic targets, markers, and diagnosis, trial-running new pharmaceuticals, and designing therapeutic devices.
  • Use research skills for validating experimental models in vivo that reproduce an approximation of the diseases under their study or in vitro.  
  • Design experiments from the identification of a problem to the interpretation of results.
  • Communicate effectively orally and in writing with their peers: mentors, research community, society and grant proposals.
  • Make decisions with scientific judgment and critical thinking in their practice as researchers following legal, ethical and government regulations.
