The PhD students of the 38th cycle attended training activities as per the schedule of the PhD training course, which included both lectures by the doctoral faculty and seminars by experts in the fields of precision medicine, oncology and network medicine.
In addition, PhD students, under the supervision of their Tutors, carried out research activities in the laboratories affiliated to the PhD.
Some, as part of their research project, carried out periods of research and training activities abroad or in other National Research facilities (one PhD student was at the University of Pisa; one PhD student at UCL Cancer Center in London).
During the second year, the 37th cycle PhD students followed the activities in the PhD course calendar and did intensive work in groups (Working Groups between faculty and PhD students) for the design and construction of a database for the collection of clinical, omics and biochemical data of patients and subsequent analysis.
One PhD student did a 12-month training period at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota USA.
PhD students of the 36th cycle have completed their training within the 3-year doctoral program, and 2 out of 5 received their PhD degrees on December 18, 2023. For the 3 doctoral students of the same cycle, a II session is planned in 2024.
