Description
Technological innovation has transformed medicine, enhancing diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, but also increasing the complexity of available solutions and healthcare costs. To ensure the safe and effective use of new technologies, it is crucial to train professionals who possess interdisciplinary skills and can integrate basic research, technological development, and clinical application.The Doctoral Course in Science and Technology for Advanced Therapies was created to meet this need, aiming to provide a multidisciplinary training path that combines scientific, technological, methodological, and regulatory aspects.The Course is structured into three distinct curricula designed to train highly qualified researchers in biomedical fields, with emphasis on: emerging technologies for biomedicine, gene therapies, and biomolecular sciences and biotechnology.
