In fulfilling this work plan, the student will be accompanied by his supervisor.
The supervisor must be a professor or doctoral researcher with a relevant activity in the area of Molecular Bioengineering. Before starting the preparation work of the monograph, the student must submit their proposals during the first week of the semester, stating:
Theme; Summary of the work plan; Direct advisor (with link to his/her ORCID); Laboratory / Group / company where the project will be carried out (with link to the web page of the project)
Thecoordinators in charge of the UC will decide on the acceptance of the proposal of the students during the second week of the semester.
In case students can not send the above elements within the indicated deadline should contact the coordinators immediately.
In all emails to send to the coordinators, the students must place the following in the subject space: "MBio-Monografia 2024/2025"
After approval of the topic and the supervision students can start working.
