The PhD program in Cell Biology and Biomedicine trains researchers capable of contributing to the knowledge about the normal and pathological functioning of the cell, and apply this knowledge to understand and control diseases that require better treatments or lack of treatment.

It addresses in a multidisciplinary manner the interrelationships between cellular organization, structure and function, their dynamic interactions with the environment, their integration into the physiology of the organism and their alterations leading to disease as a rational for the search of innovative therapeutic alternatives.

The PhD program in Cell Biology and Biomedicine includes integrated and interactive courses, specialized laboratory practices, research units and development of an experimental thesis.

It trains in the use of advanced techniques in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology and Structural Biology (microinjection, state-of-the-art spectral confocal microscopy, live cell fluorescence microscopy, gene editing, structural bioinformatics).

It integrates the student to a wide network of collaborations and exchange opportunities with laboratories of prestigious national and international institutions.

The PhD is organized around the following lines of research, corresponding to the areas of Cell Biology and Biomedicine, which include aspects based on structural biology and molecular biology and are addressed through the research topics and associated research projects.

The cellular processes included in these topics are dealt with by addressing their mechanisms and functions, as well as their alterations as a cause of disease and as a rationale for searching for new therapeutic targets, incorporating potential selective therapeutic targets according to structural bioinformatics. The aim is to provide treatments that have a positive impact on people's health and quality of life.

The program has three lines of research:

1. Protein and membrane trafficking: mechanisms, functions and disease
2. Pathologies associated with autoantibodies, inflammation, metabolism and/or aging
3. Homeostasis, recycling and cellular plasticity: mechanisms and disease
