The goal is to provide students with advanced knowledge, skills, and competencies related to their PhD thesis topic. This involves initiating a research project in a scientific field while simultaneously completing their curricular training through courses, laboratory rotations, and seminars.
As part of this process, students prepare a report on the work developed, including preliminary results if available, with a focus on a translational research thesis plan. This plan may cover areas such as therapeutic target discovery and mechanisms, drug design, preclinical development, or drug safety, addressing the gap between scientific discovery and the application of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.
The PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences supports specialized scientific training, the development of original and innovative research, critical analysis of new and complex ideas, and the enhancement of communication skills with both peers and society. It also contributes to technological, social, and cultural advancement in the knowledge society.
The start of experimental work, leading to the PhD thesis, together with the seminar and the final structuring of the thesis plan, provides a comprehensive understanding of the state of the art and the experimental expertise needed to address an original and significant research question. The modular structure of the training activities further reinforces the program’s strong emphasis on research and mobility.
