The aim of this programme is to transfer the experience and knowledge resulting from research over the years in the group of diseases known as cancer, while at the same time integrating them into leading-edge research towards successful treatment to cure or make these diseases chronic in the future.
The University Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Cancer includes research groups with wide experience in the different basic, translational and clinical areas related to cancer. Our University Institute, mainly through the Thematic Network for Cooperative Cancer Research (RTICC) www.rticc.org, of which it is part, conducts leading activities in areas related to the biological and clinical aspects of cancer, ranging from the most basic to the most clinical. The doctorate provides students with training in the basic skills required to develop and put into practice original ideas within the context of molecular and cell biology and clinical aspects of cancer that may serve as a basis for their dissertation. It is a dynamic proposal that could include more groups of proven quality in the future.
The ideal background for those interested in enrolling in the Doctorate in Cancer Biosciences is to have completed at least one undergraduate degree in the field of biomedicine (Biology, Biotechnology, Pharmacy, Medicine, Chemistry, Veterinary Medicine or Computer Sciences) or to be Licentiates in Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmacy, Medicine, Computer Sciences…
