MRM PhD Program Overview
Overview
Rules for the organization of the PhD Course can be found here.
Molecular Medicine strives to promote the understanding of normal body functioning and disease pathogenesis at the molecular level, and to allow researchers and physician-scientists to use that knowledge in the design of specific tools for disease diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention.
Regenerative Medicine deals with the process of replacing, engineering or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function.
The PhD Program in Molecular and Regenerative Medicine (MRM) at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia offers a wide range of research opportunities in these fields.
The MRM PhD Program offers doctoral students the opportunity to develop a research project, over a three-year period, to answer important scientific questions in the field of Biomedicine.
An interdisciplinary and international environment, with cycles of lectures and seminars held in English, allows PhD students to exploit and combine different scientific approaches, with the aim of developing new diagnostic and prognostic tools or therapeutic approaches based on an advanced understanding of molecular mechanisms and cellular at the base of human diseases.
Opportunities
The preparation acquired with this training course, also through the possibility of benefiting from High Apprenticeships grants, represents the preferential way to undertake research and development activities not only in the University or in Public and Private Research Institutions, but also in Industries in the area of health, pharmaceutical and biomedical products.
Finally, the possibility to work in laboratories actively included into international networks, facilitates the possibility of carrying out periods for further studies (post-doc training) in prestigious foreign laboratories.
Congresses
In order to attend a conference, PhD students must submit a completed travel request form (Form 1), together with the authorization of the Director of the Doctoral School (Form 2) as well as your Supervisor as the holder of the funds (who will sign Form 1). Form 1 must be approved by the Director of the Department of Life Sciences .
