MBIO - Master of Biology
This is a theoretical and practical course to help students understand the fundamentals and basics of cellular systems organization and cellular processes. These topics will be enshrined in the new tendencies of modern biology. This context will allow students to explore cellular structure and biomolecules. The course will cover typical processes such as energy flow, transport across cell membranes and intracellular transport. Students will also study signal transduction, cell signaling, cell division and metabolism. This material will be covered within the evolutionary and historical process of cellular biology, with an emphasis on molecular biology and its applications in biotechnology.

The objective of this practical course is to provide students with tools for the basic understanding and study of cell functions from standpoints ranging from molecular components to interactions between cells and the environment. These laboratory practices start students out in the management of biological procedures and techniques that familiarize them with live cells, which is useful for application throughout their training and practice. Students hand in reports throughout the semester, enabling them to become familiar with the writing and presentation of topics of biological interest.

Biochemistry includes the entire molecular basis of processes that take place in living beings. Under this perspective, it is immediately perceived that none of the areas in science involving life can escape the frontiers of this sphere of knowledge. In this order of ideas, the course of General Biochemistry attempts to provide a view of the basic concepts of the discipline in order for students to understand the rules of the molecular logic of cells, and recognize the structural basis of biomolecules, enzymatic catalysis and its relationship with bioenergetics. This is expected to provide students with an understanding of the central routes of metabolism, leading the concept to a metabolic integration focused on the interrelationship between the different processes of degradation and synthesis that constitute biochemical routes.

The impact of molecular biology on modern biology has led to the manipulation of molecules and, as a result, the accelerated development of new fields such as genetic engineering and biotechnology. The course covers the basic aspects regarding molecular biology and familiarizes students with biomolecular structure. It teaches how, starting with basic sciences such as physics, chemistry and biology, you can explore new frontiers of knowledge and take advantage of the properties, capacities and structure of molecules that make up living beings, to obtain highly functional products resulting in the so called biological revolution.

The objective of this practical course is to provide students with a basic understanding of the processes and procedures employed in a molecular biology laboratory to support the theoretic component of the class. These practices familiarize students with the fundamentals and the performance of widely used procedures in applied molecular biology, such as the study of nucleic acids, PCR and electrophoresis. As a part of the course, there is an introduction to the understanding and uses of some of the basic tools used in the field of bioinformatics.

The objective of the Cellular and Molecular Biology of Prokaryotes Laboratory is to put the knowledge acquired by students in the theoretic part of the class into practice. General protocols of molecular biology (sequencing-restriction), induction and differentiation are implemented in the sporulation process and horizontal gene transfer mechanisms (conjugation, transformation, transduction).

The subject Inscription Project Grade BIOL 3906 proposed by the student is developed in this course. The Graduation Project is carried out under a scientific committee tutorial where the student executes a scientific task based upon his/her project. This final project should be submitted in writing. (Manuscript format of scientific type) and give room for a public presentation. The Grade Internship is guided as a student formation complement based upon field experience and through enterprise, institutes and/or laboratories dynamic participation. Access to these programs could be granted through published offers by CTP or through students self management. Monograph is an investigation based upon scientific literature carried out under the supervision of one or two tutors. Work results should be submitted in writing (manuscript format of scientific type) giving room for a public presentation.
