Presentation
The Biology Area of PEDECIBA was born together with the Program, and gathers graduate students and researchers from the following subareas: Biophysics, Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology, Botany, Physiological Sciences, Genetics, Ecology and Evolution, Microbiology, Neurosciences, and Zoology. From the very beginning, our Area has supported a broad scope of biology-related research and engaged in activities shared with the general population in an attempt to address society and industry needs.
Over 35 years since its foundation, PEDECIBA-Biology has successfully hosted the academic training of more than 500 Masters and Doctors. Financial support for researchers and students has been made available in the form of competitive calls for applications in order to promote internships, courses and congresses in the Country or abroad, the organization of graduate courses (approximately 60 of them per year), and the purchasing of reagents, materials and research equipment. The Area also supports subscription and representation in national scientific societies such as: Biophysics Sectional (SBF), Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Sectional (SBBM), Uruguayan Genetics Society (SUG), Uruguayan Society for Sleep Research (SUIDES), Uruguayan Society of Microscopy and Imaging (SUMI), Neuroscience Society of Uruguay (SNU), Uruguayan Association of Gene and Cell Therapy (ATGC-U), Uruguayan Zoological Society (SZU), Uruguayan Society of Microbiology (SUM).
Every year, the Biology Area of PEDECIBA awards outstanding graduate students with two Prizes in Biological Sciences, named “Eugenio Prodanov” and “Elio García-Austt” to honor the memory of these two distinguished scientists who were researchers in this Area and founders of PEDECIBA. These prizes award the best Master’s and Doctoral dissertations for research developed mainly within our Country, and that also represent a relevant contribution to scientific knowledge in their area of study.
Currently, the Biology Area has more than 400 graduate students between master’s and doctorate, and more than 500 active, associate or emeritus researchers.
