A.A. 2022-23
In the 2022-23 academic year, all doctoral students regularly carried out their activities to achieve the objectives of their research project.
The activity of all doctoral students is described in detail in the annual report that the college requires from individual doctoral students for approval and admission to the following year in the first week of October and in the doctoral student forms that have been filled in by all doctoral students on Infostud. The annual report is drawn up according to the guidelines defined by the college and available on the specific PhD web page (https://phd.uniroma1.it/web/pagina.aspx?i=3489&l=IT&p=127).
The teaching body evaluated the activity carried out both through the annual report mentioned above and through the seminar presentation of the work carried out.
All doctoral students received a positive evaluation and were admitted to the following year.
Research activity report for doctoral students enrolled in the 38th cycle:
Out of 10 doctoral students of the 38th cycle, 4 have published at least one original work in an international journal with impact factor during the academic year [see the individual pages of the doctoral students (https://phd.uniroma1.it/web/DOTTORANDI-BIOLOGIA- CELLULAR-AND-DELLO-DEVELOPMENT_nI3489_IT.aspx)]. In total, 14 articles in an international journal with impact factor with at least one of the 38th cycle PhD students as author and indexed on IRIS were published in 2022/23. Of these, two works feature at least two doctoral students from the course as co-authors.
Research activity report for doctoral students enrolled in the 37th cycle:
Out of 16 doctoral students of the 37th cycle, 9 have published at least one original work in an international journal with impact factor during the academic year, and the majority have presented their results at least in one scientific conference [see the individual pages of the doctoral students (https ://phd.uniroma1.it/web/DOTTORANDI-BIOLOGIA-CELLULARE-E-DELLO-SVILUPPO_nI3489_IT.aspx)]. In total, 22 research products with at least one of the 37th cycle PhD students as author and indexed on IRIS, of which 20 articles in an international journal with impact factor, were published in 2022/23.
It should be noted that, during the academic year, seven doctoral students of the 37th cycle carried out internships at foreign research centers of duration, four of which lasted more than 3 months, and one doctoral student carried out an internship at an Italian company of duration approximately 4 months.
Research activity report for doctoral students enrolled in the 36th cycle:
Out of nine doctoral students of the 36th cycle, eight have published at least one original work in a journal during the academic year, and all have presented their results at least in one scientific conference [see the individual pages of the doctoral students (https://phd.uniroma1 .it/web/DOTTORANDI-BIOLOGIA-CELLULARE-E-DELLO-SVILUPPO_nI3489_IT.aspx)]. In total, 34 research products with at least one of the 36th cycle PhD students as author and indexed on IRIS, of which 20 articles in an international journal with impact factor, were published in 2022/23. Of these, one publication includes two doctoral students from the course as authors.
It should be noted that, during the academic year, two 36th cycle doctoral students carried out internships at foreign research centers lasting more than 3 months.
The college authorized all requests for internships, courses and conference participation that respected the requirements of the Course (https://phd.uniroma1.it/web/pagina.aspx?i=3489&l=IT&p=127), covering where appropriate expenses within the limits of the individual budget assigned to them by the Doctoral Course.
Since 2023, the Doctorate has encouraged doctoral students to follow the English language courses of the Sapienza CLA, the costs of which are directly supported by the Doctorate from the 10% funds of those interested. To date, 10 students have enrolled in the courses, which will be delivered in 2024.
The college also encourages doctoral students to apply for additional financial support through University and external tenders. In particular, in the academic year 6 doctoral students applied in the Sapienza doctoral student mobility call; of these, four entered the ranking. Furthermore, one student (Salvati) also obtained a short EMBO scholarship for internships abroad.
Overall, 9 doctoral students carried out internships at research centers abroad during the academic year, 6 of which lasted more than 3 months:
36th cycle
D'Angelo 6 months
Sbarigia 3 months
37th cycle
Augello 4 months
Fattorini 4 months
Greco 7 months
Salvati 5 months
