Doctoral Programme

MISSION & VISION

 

The mission of the Doctoral programme in Health and Technology is to promote a more translational biomedical technological research and drive a wider adoption of advanced biomedical technologies in the clinical and industrial practice. 

Our vision is that of strongly interdisciplinary PhD programme, where every single project is supervised by a technology expert and a biomedical expert, and aims to produce results well beyond the current state of the art.
