The international PhD training network is broad and this will guarantee PhD students the opportunity to experience different laboratories operating in academic as well as non-academic institutes, high research standard and excellence being the only criteria for selection.

The iinvolvement in the PhD program of pharmaceutical companies like Rottapharm Biotech and Italfarmaco offers excellent opportunities for PhD students to come into direct contact with the non- academic job market. Rottapharm is strongly committed to research, innovation and development of new drugs worldwide.

Moreover, the PhD students will possibly have the opportunity to get in touch with and take advantage of the most advanced technologies in the field of imaging and therapeutic irradiation through participation in the activities of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). These collaborations will eventually provide a rare opportunity for personal and professional growth to the PhD students.
