Description
Molecular and regenerative medicine develops and employs cutting edge methods for diagnosis and cure of human diseases. The PhD program in Molecular and Regenerative Medicine offers students the possibility of developing an independent research project to address scientific questions relevant to the field of Biomedicine. The PhD program is interdisciplinary and students will learn how to exploit and conjugate different scientific approaches with the final goal of developing novel diagnostics, prognostic tools or therapeutic approaches based on the comprehension of molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying human diseases such as cancer and hereditary disorders.
The PhD program in Molecular and Regenerative Medicine includes two scientific curricula dealing with the following topics:
1) Molecular and Regenerative Medicine.
a. Cellular and animal models of human diseases;
b. Regulatory mechanisms of gene expression;
c. Disease pathophysiology and molecular diagnostics;
d. Tissue morphology and histopathology diagnostics;
e. Applied bioinformatics;
f. Experimental oncology;
g. Innovative therapeutics in molecular medicine (gene therapy, regenerative medicine);
h. Tissue engineering.
2) Nanotechnologies and Modeling for Industrial Biomedical Applications.
a. Biosensors
b. Materials for implantable organic bioelectronics
c. Molecular modelling
d. neuroelectronic interfaces
e. Structural studies on health-relevant proteins
To develop the student’s scientific background through the combination of lectures, seminars and research activities, students will be offered classes covering a broad range of scientific topics related to the research conducted by scientists in the PhD Program in Molecular and Regenerative Medicine. Seminars and lectures given by outstanding scientists are part of the teaching program.
During the first six months of the first year, students have the option of conducting short-term rotation projects in different laboratories. The goal of these rotation projects is to expose students to a broad range of research topics and facilitate the selection of the laboratory where to conduct their thesis research project.
During the second year students will be asked to write a mock research grant proposal to apply for a one-year pre-doctoral fellowship.
Duration
Three years (01/11/2018 - 31/10/2021)
Venue
The course venue is at Modena.
