The GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GENETICS AT THE FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF MINAS GERAIS (UFMG) , founded in 1997 and implemented in 1998, offers Master's (since 1998) and Doctoral (since 2003) courses. Assessed as level 6 by CAPES, its main objective is to train professionals capable of developing research, teaching and extension with excellence in the different areas of Genetics.
The Program has three main areas of concentration: (1) Evolutionary and Population Genetics; (2) Molecular Genetics, Microorganisms and Biotechnology; (3) Genomics and Bioinformatics. Currently, there are a total of 32 master's and 60 doctoral students on the board of students. The program's publications focus on international journals classified in the quality indicative strata A and B of the CAPES Qualis system.
In celebration of the 20 years of existence of the UFMG POSTGRADUATE GENETICS PROGRAM , we are pleased to present the GENE TIME Conference! An event that will have participants from the academic area and also from the entire community, gathered in lectures, round tables, mini-courses, discussions and poster presentations. The event seeks to bring together different research groups, new collaborations and high-quality scientific and personal exchanges.
The POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM IN GENETICS OF THE FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF MINAS GERAIS (UFMG), was founded in 1997 and implemented in 1998, and it offers Master (since 1998) and PhD courses (since 2003). Our Program was evaluated by the CAPES (Coordination of Improvement of Higher Level Personnel) and received a score of 6, which is considered of excellent quality at both national and international level. Its main objective is to qualify professionals for developing scientific research, teaching and managing extension projects with excellence in the different areas of genetics.
The program has three main areas of concentration: (1) Evolutionary and Population Genetics; (2) Molecular Genetics, Molecular Genetics of Microorganisms and Biotechnology; (3) Genomics and Bioinformatics. Currently, there are a total of 32 Master's students and 60 PhD students. The program focus on publishing on international journals classified in strata indicative of quality A and B of the Qualis system of the CAPES.
The POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM IN GENETICS OF THE UFMG is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, and in order to celebrate it we are pleased to present the GENE TIME Conference! The event will gather participants from the academic area and from the whole scientific community for lectures, round tables, mini courses, discussions and poster sessions. Therefore, the GENE TIME Conference aims at promoting high-quality scientific and personal exchange among research groups, networking and novel collaborations.
