The doctorate

The Doctoral Program in Oncological Sciences aims to train a new generation of researchers capable of integrating biological, clinical, technological and computational skills to address the challenges of modern oncology and foster the development of personalized medicine. Specifically, it aims to train researchers and clinician-scientists capable of integrating biological, translational and clinical research to improve cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The program promotes a multidisciplinary approach between medical oncology, oncohematology, surgical and radiotherapy oncology, pathological anatomy, imaging, genetics, molecular biology, immunology, epidemiology, bioinformatics and precision medicine, fostering the transfer of knowledge from research to clinical practice. 

The Doctorate in Oncological Sciences aims to train personnel suitable for managerial or high-profile professional careers in the university in biomedical disciplines, and in public and private research institutions, as well as in public health and in the pharmaceutical or biomedical industry. PhDs will be qualified to participate in calls for recruitment for teaching staff at Italian and foreign universities, as well as access to researcher roles in public and private structures oriented towards basic research, biomedical and biotechnological research, research oriented towards clinical diagnostics on a molecular basis and the study of new molecular targets for the development of innovative therapeutic treatments, research in the field of oncology and hematology, district surgery, radiotherapy.  Furthermore, in consideration of the multidisciplinary nature of the PhD itself, the doctorates will be able to collaborate in an expanded network, also developing common multidisciplinary research lines, which configures what will be the scenarios underlying medicine in future years.
