GRADUATE STUDIES IN BILBAO, SPAIN
The University of the Basque Country offers Master and PhD degrees in Molecular Biology and Biomedicine. The one-year Master degree (60 ECTS) consists of lecture courses (30 ECTS) and a research project (30 ECTS).
Four-year PhD interdisciplinary programme
This unique programme offers opportunities to study at UCL,Birkbeck College and CrickNIMR. Students are exposed to a wide range of training in all aspects of structural, molecular and cellular biology, chemical biology and the computational tools necessary to address important problems in biomedicine. Interdisciplinary programme It is difficult to envisage modern research in molecular and cellular biology, and in microbiology, without strong computational, structural, and chemical biology components. In the era of ever expanding biological complexity, computational biology is crucial in making sense of the data. Similarly, structural biology and biophysics provide essential insights into the molecular mechanisms presiding over biological processes. In turn, the chemical information provided by 3-dimensional structures can be exploited in the design of small molecule reagents which are valuable cell and molecular biology tools.
No knowledge of Spanish required.
The interplay between all of these fields enables important and exciting areas of modern biology, biotechnology and medicine to be investigated at the atomic, molecular, cellular and organism levels.

This Ph.D. project aims to study light-regulated motility in photosynthetic swimming microorganisms through experiments and modelling. Photosynthetic microorganisms are fundamental primary producers, at the base of major food webs (e.g. in the oceans). Many species are motile, and can move towards or away from light (phototaxis), thereby modulating their photosynthetic activity. At the same time microorganisms are also capable of biochemical photoprotection, which can in principle be used as an alternative to phototaxis. Phototaxis, photosynthesis, and photoprotection are interconnected, and can be thought of as the three main components of a possibly complex- dynamical system whose behaviour has a profound impact on the fitness of photosynthetic microorganisms. This system has not been studied before. The aim of this Ph.D. project is to begin exploring specific aspects of thi
