Concentration Areas
Name: Medical Clinic, Health Technologies and Behavioral Sciences
Description: It aims to address various segments of human health research, focusing on diseases of epidemiological and economic importance for the southern region of Brazil. It involves the areas of epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, including behavioral disorders. It also aims to develop research projects aimed at the development of new technologies in the health area, in order to improve and / or develop tools to aid in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of neglected, infectious or chronic diseases. Research linked to this program of studies will allow the approximation of three fundamental axes for medical-scientific advancement in the context of translational medicine: 1) molecular and cellular research; 2) bioinformatics; and 3) clinical practice.
