The course in brief

Presentation

The PhD program in Neuroscience is derived from the union of three doctoral programs:

  • Neurosciences
  • Science of motor and sport activities
  • Neuroscience and Neurotechnology


The course is organized in such a way as to stimulate doctoral students in their scholarly activities and in promoting their research training by fostering contacts between doctoral students, mentors and relationships with foreign research organizations and institutions.

Training Objectives.

The Ph.D. in Neuroscience aims to train personnel with high research qualifications in the field of Neuroscience. It therefore encompasses different skills and areas of study, which have in common both clinical and basic experimental research aimed at improving our knowledge of the mechanisms of the functioning of the nervous system, the pathogenetic mechanisms of diseases that affect the nervous system, and thus, as a possible final fallout, the possible treatment of such morbid forms. Given the complexity of the discipline, 3 training curricula have been identified that have a common part, but will later follow specific paths for the different doctoral curricula:

  • Clinical and Experimental Neuroscience
  • Neuroscience and Neurotechnology
  • Sciences of motor and sports activities

Professional outlets

  • employments in the pharmaceutical industry
  • employments in public and private research institutions
  • university career
  • career in the National Health Service (with emphasis on IRCCSs)

Coordinator

With true pleasure I welcome all of our doctoral students.

The course aims to promote and foster scientific preparation and to stimulate your aptitude for research. If you have chosen to enter a doctoral program, it means that you have already gained some experience in science. It will be the task and goal of your mentors and the entire faculty to support you on this path and to support you in the development of your specific research project. We are also committed to offering you an appropriate training program to enhance your specific knowledge in the field of Neuroscience and to promote your scientific growth.
