PhD in Biology

In parallel with the exact sciences (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry), which have been central at ISA, as a school of engineering, Biology has been growing fast over the past few decades, reflecting its increasing importance in the domains declared in ISA’s mission. The degree in Biology combines training in the exact sciences with learning in basic biological sciences, hence providing students with a uniquely wide formative experience.

The research group focuses on genetic and epigenetic factors with a role on developmental and environmental alterations that influence phenotypes. One research area is particularly interested in crops with high economic and social impact in Portugal, such as grapevine (Portuguese gene pool), cork oak (cork production and nutrition) and various cereals (quality and health-promoting food with economic value and identification of molecular markers for the characterization of cereal germplasm resources).

Molecular and Cell Biology, Plant Physiology, Ecology

Provides education on biological processes in all types of organisms and on complementary exact sciences. It aims to form biologists with a wide range of technical and scientific skills, able to respond to the fast expanding theoretical and practical advances of modern Biology. It is understood in the design of the course that such expansion owes much to the development of interfaces between Biology and applied sciences (eg. bioinformatics, biophysics, biotechnology, ecology). Graduates are expected to continue studying at post-graduate levels or to follow professional careers in diverse areas.

The programme provides advanced training in two broad areas of Biology and Biomedicine. The study of Evolution gives students an explanatory and integrative vision of Biology. The study of Development addresses the organization of life at multiple levels, from molecules to cells and from genetics to complex systems. Integrating these two areas linking them with other areas of biology aims to increase the student's understanding of living systems.
