The call for the 2017/2020 cycle of the PhD course in Integrated Biomedical Research, University of Milan (Italy), has been published.
This PhD program covers different fields of research, from human anatomy to sports science, and applied biology, and focuses on quantitative and functional characteristics of the human body at every level of complexity, from cells, tissues, organs up to the entire organism and its interaction with the environment, with applications in the biomedical field.
Eight PhD students will receive a 3-y scholarship as well as a research fund to work in one of the proposed topics. As an example, one topic is the assessment of biomechanics and motor control, with applications in sport medicine and post-surgical rehabilititative procedures.
Another important topic is the 3D analysis of craniofacial structures, focusing on possible markers of genetic and syndromic pathologies, ethnic differences, symmetry, facial mimicry, with applications in clinical medicine (early diagnosis of pathological conditions), plastic and aesthetic surgery, orthodontics.
The PhD course in Integrated Biomedical Research represents an important opportunity of training in morphological studies through a multidisciplinary approach and is a unique manner for improving the skills in the management and elaboration of research in different fields of morphological sciences.
The complete version of the call and further details about eligible curricula and didactic activities are available on the website http://www.unimi.it/ricerca/dottorati/111216.htm (Italian version) and http://www.unimi.it/ENG/courses/111279.htm (English version). Deadline for proposals is September the 4th, 2017.
"Milan is Italy’s city of the future, a fast-paced metropolis where creativity is big business".
A leading institute in Italy and Europe for scientific productivity, the University of Milan is the largest university in the region; it is also an important resource for the socio-economic context of which it is a part.
For further information, please contact Prof. Chiarella Sforza (chiarella.sforza@unimi.it)
