Open Call for PhD Program in Genomic and Experimental Medicine
The Scuola Superiore Meridionale (SSM) announces a public competition for admission to the PhD program in Genetic and Experimental Medicine (GEM) for the academic year 2025/26!
The GEM PhD program offers a highly qualified training path in the fields of post-genomics, diagnostics, and molecular medicine, with a specific focus on genetic diseases, cancer research, and related molecular and biological processes.
The PhD program lasts four years and focuses on the following research areas:
- Molecular Therapy and Precision Medicine
- Cell Biology and Disease Mechanisms
- Diagnostics
- Genomic Medicine
- Molecular Oncology
The program is designed for highly motivated graduates in scientific or medical fields who wish to specialize in biomedical sciences and pursue a research career in human genetics, functional genomics, molecular and precision medicine.
Students will also gain hands-on experience with innovative technologies such as genomics, advanced microscopy, high-content screening, lab-on-a-chip, proteomics, and the development of advanced drug delivery vectors, as well as computer-aided drug design and artificial intelligence-based approaches.
From both a training and career standpoint, the GEM PhD program prepares professionals to work in leading academic and clinical research centers (public and private), as well as in biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, and other biomedical organizations.
The research and teaching activities will take place primarily at the Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine (TIGEM) in Pozzuoli (NA), along with other official locations of the school.
To support international training, all PhD students are required to spend at least 6 months abroad (in one or more periods) at foreign universities or research institutions.
The official language of the program is English.
Deadline for application is 27th August 2025, 2:00 pm.
