Objective

As a graduate in Clinical Biochemistry, you will be able to interpret and develop biochemical tests, identifying chemical and biological compounds that determine the health status of individuals and understand those that cause pathologies. You will contribute with industry diagnostic research or human health teams in health institutions and government organizations, always with responsible, ethical, humanistic and moral behavior.

Graduate profile

The teaching learning process is based on competencies. This focus includes knowledge, skills and attitudes, thus training ethical professionals who can respond to needs and requirements in a globalized world.

  • Ability to classify toxic substances to which living organisms are exposed in the environment and cause pathologies, through precise analysis, to make timely decisions on prevention, management or treatment.
  • Ability to develop disease prevention and management techniques, applying the principles of clinical biochemistry to collaborate in a health team.
  • Master the analysis of chemical and biological products in industry, health and environmental institutions using current instrumental equipment and techniques to identify their effects on health and prevent pathologies.
  • Understand the clinical, analytical, physical-chemical and biochemical areas through their application in experimental processes, to obtain reliable and correct results.
  • Ability to evaluate the performance of cutting-edge instrumental equipment used in clinical analysis, through quality control, determination and quantification of chemical and biological compounds to report their precision and accuracy.
