PhD in Life Sciences

The Doctorate in Life Sciences - Life Sciences covers scientific areas such as Biodiversity and Conservation, aiming to prepare PhDs who are experts in the evolutionary and ecological mechanisms underlying biodiversity, nature conservation, management of the anthropized environment, and the use of the agri-food heritage. Another topic present is that relating to Biology, Physio-Pathology and Cellular Pharmacology. The aim is to train PhDs competent in functional, morphological-ultrastructural and molecular aspects of cells and tissues in order to characterize the pathogenetic factors underlying diseases and understand how new drugs can modify cellular behaviour. Training and research activities interface with different investigation methodologies, with the aim of producing relevant scientific data. Doctoral students can make use of scientific expertise, project resources and instrumental equipment that are widely recognized internationally. Doctoral students have the possibility of spending periods of stay in foreign laboratories. This allows them to gain knowledge of the most modern research methods and gives them the ability to plan international collaborations. The course structure constitutes the natural continuation for graduates from Biology and related degree courses and also represents the cultural outlet for graduates in Pharmacy, Biotechnology and Medicine.
