Mission

The PhD in Personalized Medicine and Innovative Therapies offers interdisciplinary and, when possible, international undergraduate training in the field of clinical and translational biomedical sciences. The training project includes two research themes: clinical/epidemiological and genetic/molecular. The training activity is carried out as a research activity, thanks to the supervision of the faculty members of the College, and the course includes the following topics: precision medicine in maternal and child care, new diagnostic, pharmacological approaches and innovative therapies, population studies and big data, inflammation and immunity, genetics and pathophysiology of organs and apparatuses, biomaterials, and translational and molecular cardiology and pulmonology.

In addition to research activities, the doctoral training activities include teaching activities, through lectures and seminars, mainly concentrated in one week in the spring, one week in the summer and one week in the fall. The spring didactic activity is taught by faculty members of the College, while the fall activity is taught by internationally relevant external speakers and lecturers.

Course Objectives:

The training activity is aimed at preparing researchers of high scientific qualification who can represent in the near future the organic plant of universities, IRCCSs, other research institutes and industries in the biomedical field.

On the one hand, the Clinical Epidemiology pathway aims to train researchers in the biological and medical fields capable of implementing clinical trials and evaluating innovative diagnostic and therapeutic pathways by validating new guidelines; on the other hand, it aims to train researchers in the epidemiological and relational fields capable of identifying people's needs, conducting epidemiological surveys and evaluating the health effects of preventive measures.

 The Molecular Genetics track aims to train qualified professionals in the various fields of research (basic and applied), diagnostics and personalized therapies, capable of communicating and interacting with clinical environments, finalizing their expertise to care needs.
