Presentation and Educational goals

The International Doctoral School in Biomolecular Sciences was activated in 2009 with the 25^th cycle by the Centre for Integrative Biology (CIBIO) at the University of Trento.

This is an unique reality of the Italian post graduate system, thanks to:

-the most advanced lab equipment

-national and international funding (Armenise Harvard Foundation, Telethon, Autonomous Province of Trento)

-interdisciplinary research

-enchanting location between Alps and Lake of Garda

The PhD School has as main objectives:

• the formation of experts on Biology and Biotechnology able to practice their skills in an interdisciplinary way, helping the development in innovative fields which often require multidisciplinary knowledge;
• the study of the cellular phenomena at the molecular level by means of the understanding of the structural and dynamic features of compounds which are at the base of the cell functioning (nucleic acids, proteins, primary and secondary metabolites), from biosynthesis mechanisms to the molecular recognitions, from the host-guest interactions to the selectivity, selection based on the chirality, to the interactions of molecules with the lipidic membranes and more in general of all intra- and intermolecular processes in which the understanding of molecular features is relevant;
• the institution of a course for the formation of professional researches able to work in the academic research as well as in public and private organizations through the training of experts on biomolecular technologies.

The PhD Program in Biomolecular Sciences is a 3 year course that includes:

• research and study activities;
• attendance to courses and seminar cycles;
• research and study period abroad (at least three months).
