Quality assurance

The UDC International Doctoral School (EIDUDC) is subject to an Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS) which governs all UDC PhD programmes ratified by Royal Decree-Law 99/2011, in compliance with EU Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the EHEA. For more information, see documentation relating to the UDC International Doctoral School Internal Quality Assurance System (Regulations for the implementation and administration of the International Doctoral School SGIC for UDC PhD programmes ratified under RD 99/2011; International Doctoral School IQAS Manual; International Doctoral School IQASProcedures).

Guidelines for the monitoring and supervision of the student learning process and outcomes are established in the IQAS Procedures document. The bodies and mechanisms responsible for the coordination, evaluation and continuous improvement of the programme of study are as follows:

Academic Committee for PhD Programmes (CAPD): university body responsible for the academic coordination of PhD programmes and academic decisions regarding PhD degree and degree candidates. The CAPD establishes the guidelines and procedures for the programme coordinator and all individuals involved in the degree. A UDC coordinator is appointed for all UDC PhD programmes ratified under RD 99/2011, including inter-university programmes operated by partner universities.

EIDUDC Quality Assurance Committee (CGC): body responsible for formulating and monitoring the SGIC and PhD degree programmes. The CGC also fulfils an internal communication role within the EIDUDC in relation to its objectives, plans, programmes and responsibilities. An annual monitoring report is produced by the EIDUDC Permanent Committee, acting in the name of the CGC.

Learning outcomes

The International Doctoral School IQAS sets out the standards and indicators applied by Academic Committees in relation to UDC PhD programmes for the measurement and analysis of learning outcomes and academic standards.

These indicators include the number of doctoral theses defended, ‘International Doctorate’ certifications awarded, PhDs completed within the published time scale (3-4 years), PhDs awarded and PhDs abandoned, in addition to the average timescale for completion of the degree.

Quality assurance

To ensure that the title is developed in accordance with the verification report presented the center conducts an annual monitoring report in accordance with the procedures of the center IQAS and results. This report is reviewed by the ACSUG, external evaluation agency.

The outcome of this analysis will emerge corrective actions and improvement proposals that achieve the intended objectives and the improvement of the degree.

Committees

In order to ensure proper standards and quality at UDC, a specific academic management committee of the PhD programme will be established.

This is a sample of the scientific production of the PhD students and is intended to guide prospective students interested in this program. Under no circumstances should it be considered a full and exhaustive list of all the scientific production of the students.

Banga, Ramón Doallo, Parallel ant colony optimization for the training of cell signaling networks, Expert Systems with Applications, Volume 208, 2022, 118199, ISSN 0957-4174, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2022.118199. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0957417422013586) Abstract: Acquiring a functional comprehension of the deregulation of cell signaling networks in disease allows progress in the development of new therapies and drugs. Computational models are becoming increasingly popular as a systematic tool to analyze the functioning of complex biochemical networks, such as those involved in cell signaling. CellNOpt is a framework to build predictive logic-based models of signaling pathways by training a prior knowledge network to biochemical data obtained from perturbation experiments. This training can be formulated as an optimization problem that can be solved using metaheuristics. However, the genetic algorithm used so far in CellNOpt presents limitations in terms of execution time and quality of solutions when applied to large instances. Thus, in order to overcome those issues, in this paper we propose the use of a method based on ant colony optimization, adapted to the problem at hand and parallelized using a hybrid approach. The performance of this novel method is illustrated with several challenging benchmark problems in the study of new therapies for liver cancer. Keywords: Cell signaling network; Metaheuristics; Ant colony optimization; High performance computing; MPI; OpenMP
