Postgraduate in Health Biology: Clinical microbiology, epidemiology and applied clinical immunology + university degree

Health biology is responsible for the study of organisms of the human body, with the aim of controlling people's health states and preventing diseases. To carry out these functions, the health biology professional must have various scientific skills and skills aimed at different professional fields such as biotechnology, the pharmaceutical industry, clinical analysis, environmental analysis, epidemiological studies, etc. Through this course, Sanitary Biology is intended to offer students the appropriate training to specialize in this sector.

- Know the detection and study techniques of the main human pathogenic microorganisms. - Describe the main genres of proteobacteria as well as the different pathologies they cause in man. - Identify the main types of pathogenic gram negative bacteria of the human being, attending to the diseases they cause. - Relate the spirochetes and eukogenic microorganisms with the pathologies they cause. - Know the antibacterial and antifungal drugs, attending to their scope. - Raise awareness of the importance of public health training among health professionals. - Define the concept of public health and study its evolution and relationship with epidemiology. - Learn to interpret epidemiological phenomena and know the importance of epidemiological surveillance. - Know the evolution of the most prevalent diseases as well as their current situation. - Know the programs aimed at the exercise of health promotion in society. - Analyze the origin, characteristics and response mechanisms of the immune system. - Analyze the extraction and amplification techniques of nucleic acids (PCR and variants) and their multiple applications. - Describe autoimmunity and techniques usually used for study. - Analyze the hypersensitivity phenomenon and laboratory techniques used in allergies studies. - Describe the methodology used in the study of lymphocyte subpopulations and in the functional characterization of relevant cells of the immune system. - Analyze the application of the various antigen-antibody techniques in the microbiological and hematological diagnosis. - Describe the process that guarantees the quality of the parameters analyzed in the various immunological techniques.

Biogenetics, preventive medicine, pharmaceutical sector, clinical diagnosis, R&D+I, etc.

Thanks to this course, you can develop the professional knowledge and competences that is required to specialize in one of the branches of biology with the greatest demand for highly qualified professionals. Thus, you will have access to a wide variety of job opportunities in leading sectors such as biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry, clinical analysis, environmental analysis, epidemiological studies, etc.

The present year Biology is especially aimed at professionals and students in the field of biology and health sciences that are interested in expanding or updating their professional knowledge in this subject, dominating different aspects of it such as microbiology, biochemistry, genetics or epidemiology among many others.

This training is not included in the scope of official regulated training (Infant Education, Primary Education, Secondary Education, Official Professional Training FP, Baccalaureate, University Degree, Official University Master and PhD). It is therefore a complementary and/or specialization training, aimed at acquiring certain skills, skills or aptitudes of a professional nature, being able to be barely as merit in workbags and/or opposition competitions, always within the complementary training section and/or continuous training being always essential to review the specific requirements of the public labor stock of the public labor stock market.
