The program in Cellular and Molecular Biology offers a unique multidisciplinary training experience leading to a Doctorate degree, the highest academic educational level in Italy. The Biology Department in partnership with several private and public institutions, not only located in the Rome area, have formed a Program that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries to offer student research training in different laboratories. The PhD program provides the necessary skills to perform high-quality research activity both in public and private bodies, for the development of scientific and technological progress and contributing to the creation of a leading class with a high-level professional background and a corresponding international approach. Graduate students can select from research opportunities in areas as diverse as molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, developmental biology and bioinformatics.
At the end of the PhD program the thesis is previously examined by two reviewers (one external to the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” and one of the foreign Institutions) appointed in consultation by the PhD Program Committee and, upon positive judgment, the PhD student is admitted to the Final Examination. The Doctoral title is awarded by the Rector following the successful public defense of the thesis before the Examination Committee.
