The Program is committed to providing graduate students with a unique setting in which to learn how biochemistry can be used to solve significant problems, with the accomplishment of genuine and planned research, with scientific capacity and pedagogical competence for the teaching performance. The technical improvement and the teacher training are directed to the Biochemistry Area, with priority in developing interdisciplinary skills integrated in the themes of the three main research lines of the Program. Graduates of both levels have gone on to successful careers in academia and industry. Our program is targeted to those interested in pursuing academic or biochemistry research careers, those who wish to enhance their current careers by reinforcing their backgrounds, those making career shifts to positions that require additional background in biochemistry. We focus on developing leadership skills and teamwork that are essential for career success. In order to achieve this qualified training, the Program offers disciplines and research seminars, as well as creates a supportive environment for the discussion of multidisciplinary themes. Contact
