The educational offerings of the Doctoral Course in Genetics and Molecular Biology include:
(A) Courses organized by the Doctoral Course in Genetics and Molecular Biology
(B) Seminars organized by the Doctoral Course in Genetics and Molecular Biology
(C) Courses organized by the BeMM Doctoral School
(D) Following the seminars organized by the PhD Program GBM, sessions called “meet the speaker” are planned for doctoral students. These sessions provide an informal discussion about the scientific research, allowing students to gain a broad perspective through the experiences of speakers, who are not only academics but also internationally recognized experts.
(E) Finally, doctoral students are required to participate every two weeks in “Progress Reports”, which are meetings where second and third-year students present the progress of their research.
In addition to the scheduled activities, students have the opportunity to attend a large number of seminars and other courses available at Sapienza University or other national and international institutions.
