Program Description

The doctoral program in Biological Sciences focuses on learning a set of knowledge, competencies, and skills necessary to become successful researchers and teachers. This task is complex and requires the ability to formulate essential questions and design and develop the experiments and analyses necessary to answer them.

Our graduates have a solid background that allows them to develop in research areas including Bioinformatics, Plant Biology, Systems Biology, Biotechnology, Chronobiology, Microbial Ecology, Molecular Genetics of Fungi, Immunology, and Immunotherapy, Marine Microbiology, and Bacterial and Viral Pathogenicity.

The use of functional genomics, synthetic biology, and systems biology approaches to understand the integration of environmental signals is an emerging area where our major is a national leader.

Accreditation

Program accredited by CNA-Chile for nine years.

Program Objectives

The main objective of the doctoral in Biological Sciences is to provide an intensive education oriented to scientific research in biology. Our doctoral program offers students the possibility of developing research in diverse areas of knowledge, from those related to gene regulation and expression to the functioning of the aridest ecosystems on the planet, through interaction with the academics of the Faculty. 

Learning Outcomes

Graduates in biological sciences can respond to today’s society’s demands. A competency profile and a learning-centered curriculum is an opportunity for doctoral students to achieve autonomy and excellence as current and future researchers.
