• Describe, plan, coordinate and implement a multidisciplinary research program interacting with different technical and scientific expertise;
• Integrate training in the biomedical field with mathematical and technological knowledge capable of dealing with the growing complexity of research in the "bio" field.

The call for applications for the research doctorate, one of the three-year scholarships of which is funded by the Tim Foundation and the Biomedical University Foundation, will be published in the Official Gazette on next 10 July.

Salvatore Rossi, President of the TIM Foundation: "Fondazione TIM honors the memory of its first President, Joaquín Navarro-Valls, by financing a scholarship named after him in collaboration with the Campus Bio-Medico of Rome.
