The Ph.D. Program in Sustainable Chemistry is a multidisciplinary program in the wide field of Chemistry, focusing on sustainable research strategies for the development of new products and processes providing solutions to both, the present and medium-term requests of the Chemical Industry, and societal needs.

The PD aims at training specialized top-level professionals in the design, research and development in the field of Biorefineries in order to demonstrate their skills in integrated valorization of biomass from agro-forestry sources for the production of new chemical products, fuels and energy. This approach leads to the adoption of multi-product manufacturing strategies, so it is critical to have human resources with expertise in this area.

The PhD in Biochemistry aims to contribute to the strengthening and consolidation of scientific research, through advanced training and specialized training of human resources in the Biochemistry area, in order to train researchers with a high ethical sense, rigor and scientific integrity, able to conceive, carry out and evaluate scientific research projects, in an autonomous way, in this scientific area. The aim of the course is to provide students with skills to systematically understand subjects in the scientific field of Biochemistry and the ability to carry out original research with high academic quality and integrity standards, to critically analyze, evaluate and synthesize new and complex ideas, communicate research results and promote technological or social progress in a knowledge-based society.
