THE PATH TO

Excellence

The School of Biology aims to train highly qualified biologists, strengthen research as the core of academic life, and ensure the social relevance of all its actions in alignment with the scientific and technological development of the region and the country.

As stated in the institutional mission, “the recognition of challenges and the construction of solutions to our own needs and those of the environment” is achieved through research training and student participation in research groups. The commitment to environmental preservation is emphasized, considering that the Biology program serves as the standard-bearer of this institutional purpose. This is reflected in degree projects that investigate, protect, and promote the biological diversity of the region and the country.
