Aluno Especial
The admission modality called Special Student is intended for those interested in studying isolated curricular components in the Stricto Sensu Graduate Programs, without a regular link. Through this modality, the candidate can deepen the knowledge covered in specific curricular components and approach the Graduate Program (Master or Doctorate) in which he wishes to enter in the future as a regular student to learn about the proposal, the professors and students and begin the process of building his research proposal to participate in the regular selection process, then having the possibility of taking advantage of the credits taken as a special student.
Admission as a special student can be made in curricular components that provide places for this type of enrollment in the Stricto Sensu Graduate Program at:
- Law (Master and Doctorate)
- Education (Master and Doctorate)
- Social Memory and Cultural Heritage (Master and Doctorate)

Grupo de Pesquisa em Doença Crítica
Grupo de pesquisa que tem como objetivo investigar as diversas fases da doença crítica, englobando a doença crítica aguda, às características dos pacientes críticos, a evolução dos pacientes nas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTI), a doença crítica crônica, os cuidados de final de vida (cada vez mais presentes no espectro da doença crítica), o impacto a médio e longo prazo da doença crítica nos pacientes após alta hospitalar (com uma avaliação que abrange principalmente cognição, capacidade funcional e qualidade de vida, além do impacto para os familiares de pacientes críticos) e a doença crítica que se apresenta e se desenvolve fora das UTIs.
Health Measures and Human Development Research Group
The group focuses on the development of studies aimed at: Designing and validating health measures with the application of knowledge from areas such as psychology, biostatistics, physical education, and medicine; evaluating the effectiveness of community care actions in health services linked to specific Brazilian populations and carrying out exchanges with other research groups in Brazil and abroad, seeking collaboration via visiting researcher/professor.
Toxicological Genetics Research Group
The Toxicological Genetics Group is focused on activities in Evaluation and Promotion of Health and Pathological Processes related to the area of Genetics/Mutagenesis. The activities are aimed at evaluating genetic toxicity resulting from exposure to chemical, physical and biological agents, as well as the relationship between genomic instability and different diseases. Its main objective is to assess the genetic risk associated with the exposure of living beings to complex mixtures and to specific genotoxins present in the environment, whether of natural or anthropogenic origin. Different methodologies are used to evaluate the genotoxicity of drugs, plant extracts, compounds present in the human diet, air and aquatic pollutants, species conservation, human health in relation to environmental and occupational exposure, and genomic instability related to different diseases.
