Presentation

The Official Programme of doctorate in Applied Medicine and Biomedicine, is part of the Doctoral School of the University of Navarra, which the University of Navarra has implemented, in the framework established by the RD 99/2011, as a body for planning, coordination and monitoring of the Programmes of doctorate. Those responsible for its development and organisation are the Schools of Medicine and Science.

The Academic Committee of the Programme is the manager of its definition, update, quality and coordination, as well as of the progress of the research, of the training and of the authorisation of the presentation of thesis of the PhD students of the Programme. The Academic Committee is made up of:

It is a programme adapted to the European Higher Education Area Education which has been verified in accordance with the procedures laid down in RD 99/2011, which regulates official teaching doctorate. It has official status and is registered at Registry of Universities Centers and Qualifications (BOE of 26 October 2016).

This doctoral program brings together the extensive trajectory of several doctorate programmes from both Schools, endorsed by the concession of several Mentions of Quality and Excellence awarded by the Ministry of Education and Science:

• doctoral program in research Biomedical (formerly doctoral program in Cell and Molecular Biology) distinguished with the accredited specialization of Quality(MCD2004-00346, renewed uninterruptedly from the academic year 2004/2005 to 2010/2011). Distinguished with the accredited specialization of Excellence(MEE 2011-0099) for the academic years 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14.

• doctoral program in research Applied Medicine (DIMA) distinguished with the accredited specialization of Excellence(MEE 2011-0229) for the academic years 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14.

• doctoral program at Neuroscience and Cognition distinguished with the accredited specialization of Quality(MCD2003-00695, renewed continuously from the academic year 2003-04 to 2010-11). Distinguished with the accredited specialization of Excellence(MEE2011-0224) by the Ministry of Education for the academic years 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14.

grade: The Ministry of Education stopped publishing the call for accredited specialization of Excellence so it has not been possible to renew the mentions from 14/15 onwards.

This interdisciplinary program brings together the lines and groups of research of the previous DP in an efficient and rational way in order to consolidate and develop the excellent quality standards already accredited. The Programme is articulated around 7 main lines of research which bring together the work of all the participating entities:

1. Oncology and Haematology

2. Neurosciences and Sense Organs

3. Cardiovascular Diseases

4. Inflammatory, Immune and Infectious Diseases and Ageing

5. Digestive and Hepatology

6. Obesity, Nutrition and Lifestyles

7. Advanced Therapies and Diagnostic Innovation
