Molecular Biomedicine has evolved as an autonomous area of knowledge that is located in the Medicine - Biology interface. Its purpose is to understand the molecular and cellular bases of biology and human pathologies through Molecular Biology, Genomics, Proteomics, Biochemistry, Cellular Biology, Pharmacology and Pathology. It is a key area for the development of new drugs, methods of diagnosis and improvement of health care. Molecular Biomedicine at the University of Aveiro trains young researchers and health professionals at the interface between fundamental and applied clinical research.

Lected in Portuguese and English with a program that includes:

•	Complements of Medical Statistics and Clinical Significance
