At the International School for Advanced Studies, we offer a set of research and expertise reflecting the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary nature of neurobiology. Our PhD programme combines scientific vivacity and cultural engagement, with a stimulating international work environment and a wide-learning method. All the courses are tailored on students’ needs, providing an exceptionally broadly based education. Teaching is carried out in English.
The Neurobiology PhD offers a top-level training activity, based on a deeply problem-oriented approach to research. With six main keywords:
- Internationality. Our students and post-docs come from all over the world, creating a multicultural and inspiring atmosphere.
- Specialisation. Dedicated Lectures on Neurobiology by the best experts in the field are given during the whole PhD programme.
- Collaboration. Frequent interactions with supervisors and other students build a highly cooperative environment.
- Interdisciplinarity. Our research topics are at the interface between Neuroscience, Advanced Imaging and Bionanotechnogy.
- Facilities. Access to a variety of innovative experimental tools and direct participation in new projects are guaranteed.
- Perspective. We encourage a worldwide viewpoint from USA, EU, Middle East and Far East.
All these ingredients set the basis for our students to become the leading researchers in a fascinating and challenging research field.
Students at SISSA actively collaborate in important scientific publications.
According to the latest available figures, over 41% of all the papers published by SISSA each year involved the participation of students (an average of roughly 400 papers). This percentage has costantly increased in the last five years.
