Our testimonials
María Belén Balta Blanco
Student
The scientific approach that Cayetano offers with its curriculum is key to solving complex environmental problems that require solid knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. I have been able to take courses such as Ecotoxicology and Biotechnology that have awakened my interest in the application of living organisms to solve real ecological problems, such as bioremediation of oil spills.
Likewise, Cayetano has given me the opportunity to participate in competitions such as the Impact Startup Competition and the iGEM Desgin League, the latter within the synthetic biology environment
I am confident that Cayetano is providing me with the tools to perform successfully in the area of my choice. I would like to specialize in environmental biotechnology research.
