This project is the fruit of a collaboration between various departments at the UAM and the most prestigious centres in the area of biosciences in the Autonomous Region of Madrid. Since 2004, many members of the teaching and research staff in these centers have been considering the idea of offering a series of high quality Masters in which the teaching is backed up by scientists specializing in each of the areas covered by the course. Furthermore, it is intended that these educational programs respond to the demands made by society and industry.
This Programme comprises 3 official Masters (Master in Biomolecules and Cell Dynamics, Master in Molecular Biomedicine, and Master in Biotechnology) and one Doctorate (PhD in Molecular Biosciences), and is organized by both the Department of Molecular Biology (Faculty of Sciences) and the Department od Biochemistry (Faculty of Medicine), with the colaboration from personnel from other departments and institutions.
The members of the Executive Committee of the Molecular Biosciences Programme are:
- Main Coordinator: Mauricio Garcia Mateu
- Vice-Coordinator: Victor Calvo Lopez
- MSc in Biomolecules and Cell Dynamics Vice-Coordinators: Marina Lasa and Felix Hernandez
- MSc in Biotechnology Vice-Coordinators: Francisco Portillo and Maria Fernandez Lobato
