General

Introduction

Introduction The Programme PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology Is an official university degree that addresses training in fundamental molecular and cellular biological research. It has the collaboration of the Institute of Biomedical Research of A Coruña (INIBIC). Its objective is to train in methodological and instrumental skills to be able to develop research projects in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Microbiology, Plant Physiology and Biomedicine. Why study the degree The program offers quality teaching, personalized and integrated in consolidated research groups. It has also recognized national and international prestige. Lines of investigation These are the lines of research of this doctoral program: Evolutionary biology Molecular biology of RNA and proteins DNA damage Aging and inflammation Gene Expression in Yeast and Applications Physiology of plants Genetics of marine organisms Genetics and Genetic Toxicology Tissue Engineering Research in rheumatology Microalgae Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Neuroanatomy of vertebrates Specific Training Complements In case the doctor does not have the complete previous training required in the program, his / her admission to the program may be conditioned to the surpassing of specific training complements, which may be subjects or modules of master and degree.
