Testimonials:
I am Stefano Rocchetti, Ph.D. student within the Interdisciplinary PhD Programme in Medical and Health Sciences, held in English, from the Doctoral School of Medical and Health Sciences, Jagiellonian University in Krakow. I am currently working at the Jagiellonian Centre for Experimental Therapeutics (JCET) in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Network “LogicLab”. Being in the first year of this new English PhD program is exciting, the lectures are interesting and useful for my research. Until now, the lessons were scheduled in a way that allowed me to attend almost all of them, while keep performing my planned experiments at JCET. Even though we are only four attending this program, every one is putting their effort to make it work, and with time it will get better and better. I would specially say thank you to the secretarial staff, which since the beginning has been available and helpful in each moment.
