Cellular and Molecular Biotechnologies

The vision of the Cellular and Molecular Biotechnologies Ph.D course is to cultivate a community of dynamic and critical thinking researchers, equipped to drive innovation, that thrives at the intersection of cutting-edge scientific discovery and real-world applications.

To accomplish this educational aim, we envision a collaborative international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral environment that fosters innovation, creativity, adaptability and ethical responsibility, empowering our Ph.D students to become leaders in research oriented professions in the ever-evolving fields of life sciences and biotechnology. To this porpoise a network wide training activity is offered taking advantage of a high-quality research environment, rigorous academic pursuits, mentorship, hands-on laboratory experiences, international and intersectoral mobility.

Fostering international leadership grounded in excellence, encouraging cross-sectoral working and thinking and, expanding training skills for impact, we intend to bridge the gap between theory and application, by becoming a catalyst for translating scientific discoveries into tangible solutions that improve human and animal health while respecting sustainability and driving economic growth.

In essence, our overarching vision is to foster a community of 'creative, critical, autonomous intellectual risk-takers.' This community will play a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of life sciences and Red and Green biotechnologies, contributing to scientific breakthroughs, making a lasting impact on technological advancement, and positively impacting society. Our objective is to inspire individuals providing them with the skills and knowledge needed to take on leadership roles in research and innovation at diverse levels and within different sectors in the fields of life sciences and biotechnology.
