Our Innovative Teaching Group “MAGyA” (Spanish acronym for Applied Methodologies in Genetics and Agronomy) is formed by the staff of the Genetics Unit at the ETSIAAB:
– Coordination: Estela Giménez
– Professors: Patricia Giraldo, Elena Benavente, Laura Pascual, Marina Martinez-Garcia and Carla Guijarro
– Technician: Paqui Arroyo
– Students: Naima Boabdellah and Alba Díaz
Additionally, we are also joined by Eva Miedes (professor at the Biochemistry Unit at ETSIAAB) and members from other teaching centres (Gloria Aguilar, Rut Jiménez-Liso and María Martínez).
We are currently working on optimizing the second edition of the #PIE23upm for the MSc in Agronomical Engineering on Project Based Learning.
Thanks for all students for their commitment and their very creative breeding projects @IEducativa_UPM
