Description
In this master's degree you will be provided with the training needed to develop your academic and research skills and work professionally in different fields of cellbiology:
* Biology of cell reproduction and differentiation.
* Basic and applied cytogenetics.
* Cancer and radiobiology.
In addition to gaining a full understanding of the structure and functions of cells and how they interact with their environment, you will acquire the knowledge needed to understand and evaluate pathological processes based on cell malfunctions.
Skills acquired
* Keeping up-to-date with knowledge in the international scientific community.
* Applying knowledge to understanding the pathological modifications of cell functions, the relationships that exist between cells and the interactions between cells and their environment.
* Developing critical reasoning and problem-solving related to cellbiology.
* Teaching and disseminating knowledge to your social group.
* Developing new technologies for assisted reproduction, genetics and clinical cytogenetics or for research.
* Conducting a cytogenetic study of a particular species or individual.
* Understanding therapeutic applications for working with cells.
* Understanding the processes for reproduction, differentiation and regeneration of cells, as well as cancer and hereditary diseases.
* Systematically integrating the main cross-curricular skills (time management, decision-taking, problem-solving, knowledge updating, etc.) and applying them to research activities.
* Entering the research world with the basic tools needed to develop clinical applications.
* Interpreting and diagnosing alterations in cell functions in the laboratory.
* Respecting ethics and intellectual integrity.
* Systematising scientific information as well as written and oral data from diagnostic reports.
* Working and interacting with professionals from other specialities.
