Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)

Ranking & stats

Founded in December of 1954, and established on June 25 of the following year, the Federal University of Ceará has become a leader in scientific research and outreach programs in the state of Ceará. Its faculty consists of 1,800 professors - 1,100 of them are PhD professors and 450 of them are MSc professors.

Also, the staff is made up of 3,400 technical and administrative employees, which includes the Hospital Facilities staff. The Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) is recognized as one of the best federal public institutions of higher education in Brazil. Today, the UFC stands as an important scientific and cultural patrimony of the people from Ceará, helping to promote social and economic development in Brazil.

Its programs are distributed among four centers (Science, Agricultural Sciences, Human Sciences, and Technology), five colleges (Law; Education; Economics, Administration, Actuarial Sciences, and Accounting; Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Nursing; and Medicine), and four Institutes (Sea Sciences and Culture and Arts, UFC Virtual, Physical Education and Sports). Besides qualifying students for professional careers, UFC faces the even greater challenge of contributing to the production and exchange of knowledge that meets the needs of today’s society.

Transferring skills beyond the lab

Launching a nonresearch career doesn’t mean leaving behind everything you learned as a scientist. The skills you developed as you dove into your projects and communicated your results are valuable in many jobs. If you’re not convinced, read on for some specific examples of how Ph.D.-holders put their skills to use outside the lab. Learning new fields Kenneth Gibbs Jr. , Program director in the Division of Training, Workforce Development, and Diversity at the National Institute of General Medical Sciences Learning new fields is a skill I developed in graduate school that I continue to use now as I manage research grants in scientific areas that are outside my previous expertise. When I was a graduate student, I was very interested in stem cells and the signals that regulate them. At the time I didn't have a background in the topic, so I had to read lots of literature—where I encountered unfamiliar terms—to orient myself to the field, and then I would identify knowledgea...

Plásticos: Para produzir ou dar sumiço, chame as bactérias

Bactéria que produz plástico Pesquisadores da USP encontraram uma bactéria capaz de produzir um biopolímero - um polímero, ou plástico, produzido por um processo biotecnológico. Rotas biotecnológicas podem fabricar bioplásticos - e depois sumir com eles, degradando-os completamente. A Methylobacterium rhodesianum , que transforma o metano em um tipo de polímero ainda não caracterizado, foi identificada nas águas turvas e poluídas do Sistema Estuarino de Santos, no litoral de São Paulo. A equipe também encontrou a Methylobacterium extorquens , que já se sabia ser produtora de PHB, ou polihidroxibutirato, um polímero da família dos polihidroxialcanoatos (PHA) com características físicas e mecânicas semelhantes às de resinas sintéticas como o polipropileno. "Ainda não caracterizamos o polímero produzido pela bactéria, mas nossas análises indicam que é bem diferente dos relatados na literatura científica," disse Elen Aquino Perpétuo, coordenadora d...

Mais uma doutora formada no BioMol-Lab

Dia 27 de Outubro de 2017 formou-se mais uma Doutora no BioMol-Lab. A aluna Antônia Simoni de Oliveira, orientada pela professora Kyria Santiago do Nascimento e co-orientada pelo professor Benildo Sousa Cavada, defendeu sua tese intitulada: "Produção e caracterização físico-química e biológica da cadeia alfa da lectina recombinante de Canavalia brasiliensis" A defesa aconteceu no auditório do Departamento de Bioquímica e Biologia Molecular, 907, da UFC. Declarada a aprovação, o BioMol-Lab agora conta com 50 mestres e 52 doutores formados no laboratório. Parabéns à Simoni, aos orientadores Kyria Santiago do Nascimento, Benildo Sousa Cavada e à todos envolvidos!
