The PhD in Personalized Medicine and Innovative Therapies offers a cutting-edge educational path in the field of clinical and translational biomedical sciences. The program is structured around several research streams, including clinical/epidemiological and genetic/molecular.
The primary objective is to train highly qualified scientific researchers capable of working in academic, clinical, and industrial settings. The clinical-epidemiological track aims to develop skills in conducting clinical trials, validating innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and analyzing epidemiological data. The genetic-molecular track focuses on training experts in basic and applied research, advanced diagnostics, and personalized therapies.
The educational activities include intensive research supervised by high-profile faculty, and a structured teaching program with lectures and seminars, including meetings with international speakers. The thematic areas range from precision medicine in maternal-child health to new diagnostic and pharmacological approaches, from population studies and big data to inflammation and immunity, from genetics and pathophysiology of organs and systems to biomaterials.
This interdisciplinary approach, combined with collaborations with prestigious national and international institutions, prepares doctoral students to face the challenges of modern medicine and to contribute significantly to scientific progress in the biomedical field.
