    Research Areas

    The PhD combines the previous courses in Endocrinology, Osteo-Oncological Pathology, Sciences of Aging and Tissue Regeneration and Bioethics. Research will therefore be integrated between these clinical areas, combining practice with a philosophical reflection that touches various areas (anthropology, ethics, aesthetics, epistemology, logic, biolaw, bioethics and history of science). The decision to bring together the doctorates with a clinical profile also derives from the fact that numerous mechanisms underlying the pathological processes that affect the different areas (Endocrinology, Osteo-Oncology and Gerontology) have aspects in common and study techniques that can be superimposed, thus facilitating the integration projects for the benefit of the PhD student and scientific research.

    Research Objectives

    From the development of new models of understanding, evaluation and direction of scientific action, to purely clinical studies on drugs, pathological and pharmacological mechanisms, study of the aging of organs and systems, post-injury functional recovery and tissue regeneration. Another objective is to train professionals capable of designing, characterizing and controlling processes where the use of biocompatible materials is most required.

    Verification tools

    Annual report on the activity carried out, with quarterly verification to be presented to the teaching staff.

    Seminars

    The Doctoral School in Integrative Biomedical Sciences and Bioethics has scheduled group seminars for training purposes for the 2014-2015 academic year. The meetings concern all those enrolled in the various curricula of the course, in relation to cycles XXIX and XXX.

    The Research Projects that the PhD students intend to carry out during their three-year course are presented, as well as in-depth scientific articles of interest from the four integrated areas and updates on projects already underway. At each meeting, the presentations of two doctoral students are presented. The seminars are compulsory for all PhD students and the members of the PhD course teaching staff also take part in them.

    The meetings are held on Mondays, twice a month, starting from the month of January, from 14.00 to 15.00. A meeting reminder email is sent a week before the seminar, indicating the room where the meeting will take place.
