National Phd in Systems Medicine

The recent progresses made in the fields of genetics and genomic sciences have triggered a big change, which is leading classical medicine to transform itself into the so-called Precision Medicine, based on the acquisition and integration of enormous quantities of quantitative molecular data and their exploitation for a personalized definition of the disease and of his targeted therapy. Precision Medicine has changed the way in which the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the disease are investigated. It uses technological platforms to produce a big amount of information, which allow to highlight and quantify the heterogeneous nature of diseases and the phenotypic variability associated with individuals. Precision Medicine will totally change the approach to treatment not only for therapy, but also for diagnosis and prevention. Therefore, the transition to Precision Medicine requires professionals with new skills and multi-disciplinary training.
The PhD in Systems Medicine aims to provide doctors and scientists with interdisciplinary theoretical and technological training in biomedical sciences to be applied to the problems of precision medicine, with the aim of training professionals capable of dealing with technological strategies and highly complex therapeutics with a multidisciplinary approach.
