PhD in Systems Medicine

The PhD Program aims to train young and motivated researchers in the wide field of modern Biomedicine. The general idea is that complex systems, such as diseases and their pathogenesis, cannot be understood taking into account a single point of view. The expertise of different scientists, biologists, medical doctors, computer scientists, physicists and mathematicians are needed to provide new insights.

Due to its peculiarity, the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) recognized the PhD program in Systems Medicine as a PhD program of National Interest.
