Educational goals

The PhD Programme in Biomedical Sciences and Translational Medicine aims to provide a solid scientific background in biomedical sciences. Advanced methodological approaches, applied in a multidisciplinary context, enable the acquisition of new knowledge on the pathophysiology of diseases, to be translated into new diagnostic procedures and therapeutic strategies.

In particular, the main objectives are:

Ensure interdisciplinary training in the scientific approach to biomedicine;
Foster strong integration and mutual validation between basic, clinical, and applied research;
Promote the ability to independently manage research projects, write scientific manuscripts, and effectively communicate research findings in both national and international specialized contexts and in popular contexts;
Train researchers with adequate knowledge of private and public, national and international research funding systems, and be prepared to draft research projects in response to competitive calls for proposals;
Train professionals capable of responding to the challenges posed by prevalent and emerging diseases, addressing rapid technological change, promoting the transfer of basic discoveries to medical sciences, and aware of the increased need for productive returns on scientific research.

The PhD Programme is divided into three curricula: despite their specificity, they are strongly integrated with each other.
