On October 14, 2026, the Faculty of Life Sciences (FLS-ESPOL) held a welcome ceremony for the ten students comprising Cohort 11 of the Master’s Program in Applied Biosciences with a concentration in Biodiscovery.
During the event, the incoming graduate students were received by the leadership and administrative team of ESPOL Graduate Studies (Posgrados ESPOL), who expressed their enthusiasm in welcoming a new class of researchers dedicated to advanced scientific investigation, sustainable biodiversity valorization, and biotechnological development across the country. As part of the institutional reception, students were formally presented with commemorative ESPOL Graduate Studies welcome kits.
This postgraduate program is designed to train multidisciplinary researchers in the isolation, structural and biochemical characterization, and technological application of bioactive metabolites and compounds derived from plant, animal, and microbial sources—driving the development of innovative bioproducts and bio-based solutions across the agricultural, aquaculture, environmental, and biomedical sectors.
