It is noteworthy her participation in national, European and Latin American research groups included in stable structures of cooperative cooperation related with Taeniasis/ Cysticercosis.
Collaborations of professionals such as Doctor Teresa Gárate provide a plus of interest to our training offer and contribute to the development of the Master’s degree, directed by the professors Santiago Mas-Coma and María Adela Valero.
As a consequence of the international prestige and recognition reached due to the several activities carried out and their diffusion, it should be highlighted the amount of young researchers attracted by the Master’s Degree in Tropical Parasitic Diseases organised annually by the Human Parasitic Disease Unit of the UV, as well as the presence of foreign students that come to the centre for short periods of technique training or for longer research practices for the obtaining of the Doctor title.
