The Doctoral Program in “Technology for health” trains graduate students through a strong interdisciplinary education in engineering, medical and biological knowledge to develop high level problem-solving abilities of the students focusing on addressing the issue of Health. Nowadays these fields of research are of enormous scientific and technical interest to both industry, governmental organizations, and to society in general. These competencies prepare Ph.D. candidates to work inside a research group, private or public industrial contexts. The doctorate opens up interesting possibilities of extended study and participation in high level research, and also develops skills that help the future researchers to become innovators through the creation of spin off and start-up companies. The Doctorate was born in 2009 to solve scientific aspects of the social necessity of human health with a new formula that includes a strict collaboration between medical and engineering scientific areas. Scientific collaboration of Faculty members with prestigious research institutes in Europe, the United States and elsewhere facilitates entrance into the world of international research through meetings with scientists and visits to foreign laboratories.
Candidates must be strongly motivated, hold a five-year degree issued by an Italian University or an equivalent non-Italian degree. For details of the most appropriate degrees for this PhD program read through ANNEX A to the Call for admission.
