The course offers PhD students the opportunity to develop a research project over a period of three years, aimed at addressing significant scientific questions in innovative fields of Biomedicine. An interdisciplinary and international environment, with lectures and seminars conducted in English, allows PhD students to utilize and combine different scientific approaches. The goal is to develop new diagnostic and prognostic tools or therapeutic approaches based on an advanced understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying human diseases. 

The PhD program aims to provide doctoral students with advanced training in the fields of production, processing, quality control, and safety of raw materials and food products. The educational activities facilitate the transfer of knowledge; in particular, the program includes teaching and research training activities, with a three-year curriculum totaling 180 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits.

The PhD program in Health Innovative Products and Technologies is structured into two curricula: Health Products (pharmaceutical-biotechnological area) and Health Technologies (medical-surgical area), with the sole purpose of promoting the design of innovative products and technologies for the health of humans and animals.
