Course presentation (FOR PhD course/Specialisation school ONLY)

The PhD in Molecular and Regenerative Medicine was established with the aim of providing a highly qualified preparation in the field of biomedicine applied to the study of molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying 1) the processes of differentiation of epithelial and hematopoietic stem cells and 2) human diseases with particular reference to rare, inflammatory and onco-hematological genetic pathologies. In this context, particular attention is paid to the multiple application aspects of research for diagnostic, therapeutic and regenerative purposes.

The multidisciplinary and international composition of the teaching board allows PhD students, for the development of their project activity, to learn the application purposes of diversified but complementary methodological approaches (cell biology, molecular biology, structural and computational biology, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, biosensor and nanotechnologies), to benefit from a close integration and synergy between basic research and clinical research and to be able to deepen and develop their skills through laboratory experiences in other foreign academic and business contexts thanks to the collaboration with spin-offs and start-ups.

More information

Specific degrees indicated by the Call.

The preparation that the PhD student acquires in the training course of Molecular and Regenerative Medicine, also through the possibility of taking advantage of High Apprenticeship grants, represents the preferred way to undertake research and development not only in universities or public and private Research institutions, but also in industries related to the health, pharmaceutical and biomedical sectors.

The professional outlets are therefore identifiable in the Basic researcher (field of professional insertion research, academy sector or Biotechnology industry); Medical Researcher (Clinical Investigator) (field of professional insertion applied research, Academy or Health sector, Pharmaceutical Industry, Biotechnology Industry); Medical Biotechnologist in the fields of gene therapy, molecular genetics, regenerative medicine, biosensory, bioinformatics and computational biology (field of professional insertion applied research, design and consulting, occupational sector Biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry, Universities, public or private health). Finally, the possibility of operating in laboratories actively included in international networks, facilitates the possibility of carrying out periods of further study (post-doc training) in prestigious foreign laboratories.
