Training

Our Ph.D. Program is aimed to provide outstanding interdisciplinary training in the broad area of Molecular Medicine. Ph.D. students are expected to spend most of their time working on a research project under the direct supervision of a Director of Studies and with the external scientific advice of a Second Supervisor.

Each year, the Ph.D. Course in Molecular Medicine offers a panel of courses that expose students to the most exciting and active research areas in the field and provide training in the transferable skills required for a successful career in academia and beyond. Training is delivered in English and covers the three-year duration of the Ph.D. Course.

Students are expected to play an integral part in the life of our research community also taking advantage of the many lectures, workshops, and seminars organized by the San Raffaele Scientific Institute.

Students may have the possibility to be involved in teaching and in supervising undergraduate students.
