About our PhD Programme
Our Mission
The goal of the PhD programme in Biosciences is to foster the growth of independent and highly motivated students within the realm of life sciences. We provide high level scientific training complemented by continuous interaction between students and faculty members. The diversification of scientific objectives within our PhD programme is represented by the four curricula:
Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Evolution Ecology and Conservation
Genetics Genomics and Bioinformatics
Our students have the opportunity to pursue their education within a stimulating environment, in an international framework that strongly encourages interdisciplinary training.
Organization and facilities
Our PhD students have access to many facilities (see below) and work within a friendly and strong international research community under the supervision of experts of the field. Research opportunities are multi-disciplinary, spanning the whole range of biological research. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged as well as the interaction among PhD students, post-docs and faculty members of the Department.
Specific lines of research will be carried out at research centres associated with the Department of Biology, such as the Botanical Garden of the University of Padua, the Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine in Padua, the Marine Station of the Department of Biology, Chioggia, Italy.
