Duration: 3 years
Admission cadence: annual
Coordinator: Prof. Raffaele Antonelli Incalzi
Research Areas
The training course aimed at graduates in Engineering, Medicine and Surgery, Biology and Computer Science is aimed at analyzing and deepening the various and complex mechanisms of senescence and organ plasticity, connected to physiological aging processes and induced plastic modifications from acute or progressive stimuli:
- Neuronal neuroplasticity and post-injury functional recovery
- Age-related evolution of pulmonary ventilation
- Clinical applications of stem cells and growth factors in tissue and organ regeneration
- Identification of innovative tools for the acquisition of biomedical signals.
Research Objectives
The PhD course in Aging and Tissue Regeneration Sciences aims to educate young graduates interested in studying the mechanisms of aging of organs and systems, post-injury functional recovery and tissue regeneration in interdisciplinary research. We therefore want to enhance the perspectives inaugurated by the continuous progress in the field of the aging process, organ and system plasticity, morphometric and functional analysis methods, regenerative and rehabilitative medicine, to promote antiaging interventions, tissue repair and organ and system regeneration, as well as computer science applied to biomedicine. Another objective is to train professionals capable of designing, characterizing and controlling processes and products in the clinical area of senescence and antiaging mechanisms, where the use of biocompatible materials is most required.
Verification tools
An annual report on the activity carried out, to be presented to the Academic Board.
