GRADUATE PROGRAMS
Cellular and Molecular Medicine Graduate program (CMM)
An elaborate program focusing on i) Growth and Development; ii) Pharmacology and iii) Physiology of several systems (cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, renal, reproductive, skeletal muscle) in normal and diseased state.
M.Sc. & Ph.D. in Neuroscience Program (NSC)
A focused program on the subject of the nervous system extending from fundamental cellular and molecular neurosciences in normal and diseased state to the study of neural networks and system neurophysiology.
GRADUATE DEGREES:
Ph.D. degree
The overall objective of the Ph.D. program is to develop independent researchers with a strong basic knowledge of in experimental design, and both theoretical and practical skills. During their program, students learn how to design research projects, how to conduct experiments independently and how to analyze their results. Ph.D. students also develop skills for publishing and communicating their results in scientific journals and at conferences. Potential career opportunities for candidates who complete the Ph.D. program include positions as an independent researcher in universities, research institutes and pharmaceutical companies.
M.Sc. degree
The overall objective of the M.Sc. program is to introduce students to experimental methods and scientific research. For some students, the M.Sc. program is an intermediate step before the Ph.D; excellent, highly qualified and motivated candidates are encouraged to transfer to the Ph.D. program. Students, who complete the M.Sc. degree, gain expertise in laboratory technique (i.e., learn how to conduct experiments) or computational biology under the supervision of an independent investigator. Job opportunities for students who have completed the M.Sc. degree include research assistant in university, institute, governmental and pharmaceutical laboratories.
