DOCTORATE (Ph.D) SCHOOL IN BIOMOLECULAR SCIENCES 

The Ph.D. School in Biological and Molecular Sciences of the University of Milano has been created in 2005. It derives from the aggregation of three previous Research Doctorate Programs present in the University (the Doctorate in Genetics and Biomolecular Sciences, the Doctorate in Cellular and Molecular Biology and the Doctorate in Plant Biology) and it is now organized as a typical U.S. or European Ph.D. School.

The Shool includes four major Research Areas:

1. Molecular and Biophysical Analysis of Biological Structures;

2. Control of Gene Expression in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes;

3. Functional Genomics, Bioinformatics and System Biology;

4. Molecular Mechanisms Controlling Cell Proliferation and Degeneration, Differentiation and Development.

The above Research Areas corresponds to the European Research Council (ERC) Life Sciences Areas LS1, LS2, LS3,LS5, LS8, LS9.

The Departments of the University of Milano guesting the Ph.D. students and providing the space and instruments to perform the research programs are the  Department of Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology (http://www.sbb.unimi.it/), the Department of Biology (http://www.biodip.unimi.it/) and the Department of Genetics and Biology for the Medical Sciences (http://www.dibiogen.unimi.it/).
