Description and objectives of the course
The didactic programme is common for all PhDs.
Learning objectives:
1. Acquisition of the scientific leadeship through the development in first person of a Research project;
2. Acquisition of methodological competencies about basic Research techniques through practical and theoretical training courses, held by PhD’s professors or by Scientific Organizations;
3. Acquisition of theoretical knowledge about the most relevant progresses in the field of biomolecular and biomedical Research, through participation in scientific seminars held during the year at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and at the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences.
The programme is aimed in educating a PhD who can translate the basic competencies to possible diagnostic and/or therapeutic applications. For this reason, the programme foresees to deepen the topics of clinical immunology related to the pathologies treated in the Research project, even throughout stages in the departments that are member of the consortium or in national and international highly qualified centers.
The course offers three years of e-learning classes on the VLE dedicated Platform, webinar with experts in the field, trainings, seminars and workshops with outstanding speakers; all distributed along six semesters.
