Advanced knowledge in plant science, biochemisty and molecular biologyBasic knowledge in methods and protocols for defining process sustainability Open mind for improving his/her knowledge in other scientific fields

The Department of Science and Technology for Human and the Environment of UCBM offers to students a multidisciplinary research environment in which researchers with different backgrounds (plant scientists, analytical chemists, nutritionists, and engineers) are used to work in the same project providing their specific points of view and expertise. This allows the students to increase her/his capability to address problems with a interdisciplinary approach.The laboratory of the departments are well equipped with walk in growth chambers and phytotrons for growing plants in controlled environments, also simulating climate changes, equipment for molecular, biochemical and analytical analysis as well as the research groups of electronics and robotics have all the facilities for setting up technological systems for monitoring processes and their automation. Novel fields of research of the Department are recently oriented to analyse and set up protocol for life cycle assessment of processes aimed at food production.
