Objectives
The Ph.D. program is designed to provide students with the cognitive, critical and methodological tools so that they may acquire the necessary skills to carry out high level basic, applied and translational research in the biomolecular biotechnological sector with applications and positive spillover effects in the field of health, in accordance with Horizon Europe.
To achieve a fruitful integration of basic and applied research our program offers lines of research encompassing a vast range of interdisciplinary studies within their specific subject areas. With the support of the technological infrastructure of the Department of Biomolecular Sciences and prestigious scholars from universities and research institutes around the world, our students will receive extensive training, including in skills pertaining to the SSD BIO (area 05), MED and M-EDF (area 06).
Biomolecular and health science, the main focus of the Ph.D. program, combines elements of several ERC areas in terms of fields (all the sectors of life sciences, from LS1 to LS9) and methodologies (Physical Sciences and Engineering, PE1_14, PE4_2, PE4_11, PE4_12, PE5_6, PE5_11, PE5_14, PE5_18, PE6_12, PE6_13), providing cross interdisciplinary skills as described in the aims of the course. The range of skills that our graduates acquire will converge to forge professionals able to make contributions in the areas of disease prevention, diagnosis and therapy by developing strategies and solutions.
