Neuroscience

The PhD programme in Neuroscience is an interdepartmental, multisite enterprise based at the School of Medicine and Surgery of the University of Milano-Bicocca. Its mission is to provide an environment of excellence for training in research based on the coexistence and cooperation of Italian and International Universities, Hospital-based research centers, Pharmaceutical Industry with a strong vocation to innovation and a European research center with unique opportunities in the field of X-ray imaging and irradiation.

The mutual interaction between researchers and clinicians, working in academic and in industrial reality and belonging to all the areas of the “world of Neuroscience”, the strong commitment to international collaboration and the development of joint research programmes allowing a period of study/research in partner laboratories distribuited in the most prestigious foreign universitites are cornerstones of the programme. 

Research areas

The PhD programme is organized in 3 tracks: Experimental Neurosciences,Clinical Neurosciences and Neuroscience International Track (a joint curriculum with the University of Surrey – UK). There is a strong integration between the different tracks, ensuring a well-rounded view of the resolution of research problems.

The didactic plan is based on seminars, courses and workshops covering a broad spectrum of topics chosen to give to the students both the basic and the advanced knowledge required for the comprehension of biomedical technologies relevant for their research work and for their application to medical problems.
