Advanced Course in Molecular Responses of Plants in a Changing Environment, 19-30 June 2023. Open sessions! Join us in-person at the MICA Auditorium, Dept. of Biology, University of Minho or online via Zoom: https://bit.ly/3jN2ly3 Course program    

The advanced courses in Biological Sciences are specialized training courses aimed at C2 and C3 level students. These courses are designed to complement the academic education of participants, providing students with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and skills in specific areas. These courses will be held at the Department of Biology or the IB-S […]

Specialization Course in Molecular Genetics of Yeasts The course aims to provide advanced training in Molecular Biology of Yeast, for which the student should understand the most important molecular mechanisms that determine the “fitness” of yeast, in terms of physiology or responses to biotic or abiotic stress.
