The multidisciplinary team designing the curriculum includes key contributions from researchers at the Centre for Research in Biomedical Engineering (CREB – UPC), reinforcing the program’s technological and innovative focus. The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC) is advancing the implementation of its new Medicine degree, designed with a strong technological and multidisciplinary orientation. Several researchers from CREB-UPC are part of the team developing the program, reaffirming the center’s commitment to integrating research and technology into medical education. Roger Paredes, principal investigator of the Microbial Genomics Group at IrsiCaixa in Badalona, will join UPC as a distinguished professor and medical coordinator of the new degree program. The multidisciplinary team that has been shaping the curriculum includes: Mar Carrió, director of the Institute of Education Sciences (ICE-UPC); Cristina Canal, director of the Doctoral School and researcher in the Biomaterials, Biomechanics, and Tissue Engineering research group; Daniel García Almiñana, deputy director and head of Master’s Studies and Internationalization at the Terrassa School of Industrial, Aerospace, and Audiovisual Engineering (ESEIAAT); Daniel López-Codina, researcher in the Computational Biology and Complex Systems Research Group (BIOCOM-UPC); Àlex Perera, director of CREB; Clara Prats, coordinator of the BIOCOM-UPC group; and Xavier Roca, the rector’s delegate for the Medicine degree. The Medicine degree was approved in April 2024 with the endorsement of the UPC Governing Council. The project for the new Faculty of Health Sciences in Terrassa is being developed in collaboration with the Terrassa City Council and the Terrassa Health Consortium, which owns the Terrassa University Hospital, the reference center for the new program. UPC Rector Daniel Crespo stated, “With the incorporation of a figure of Dr. Paredes’ prestige as medical coordinator of the curriculum, the project takes a definitive step forward and reinforces our commitment to offering a high-quality medical education, with innovative teaching methodologies and […]
