The vocational master's programme in Molecular Pathology and Molecular Tumor Board aims to provide a comprehensive theoretical and practical training in molecular pathology and its applications within Molecular Tumor Boards, with special regard to personalised treatment options. Molecular Tumor Boards are a multidisciplinary tool of paramount importance in the current landscape of precision oncology. This is why the programme is particularly geared towards specialists working in precision oncology.
The master's board is composed by:
- Giancarlo Pruneri (Coordinator), Full professor, Scientific-Disciplinary Sector MEDS-04/A - Pathology
- Gianluca Gaetano Vago, Full professor, Scientific-Disciplinary Sector MEDS-04/A - Pathology
- Giuseppe Curigliano, Full professor Scientific-Disciplinary Sector MEDS-09/A - Medical Oncology
- Salvatore Siena, Full professor Scientific-Disciplinary Sector MEDS-09/A - Medical Oncology
