RESEARCH TOPICS

Main Research Areas of the PhD Program

Specialized Surgery

The thematic area focuses on advanced and highly specialized surgical approaches for the treatment of complex conditions, requiring technical expertise and in-depth knowledge in specific fields. It includes disciplines such as oncologic, plastic and reconstructive, vascular, and minimally invasive surgery, with a strong emphasis on technological innovation and the integration of tools such as robotics, laser techniques, and artificial intelligence.

The goal is to develop new diagnostic-therapeutic protocols, improve clinical outcomes, and reduce patient recovery times, while simultaneously promoting an interdisciplinary approach to address the most complex challenges in the medical-surgical field.

The synergy created between research and surgical activities aims to provide robust support for solving issues of medical care interest and fostering the development of future academic surgical leadership.

The research project will be defined in collaboration with the tutor.

Innovative Technologies in Surgery

The thematic area focuses on the implementation and development of advanced tools and methodologies to enhance surgical practices. It includes the use of technologies such as robotic surgery, augmented reality for preoperative planning and assisted navigation, advanced imaging systems, laser techniques, and artificial intelligence to support diagnosis, preoperative planning, and surgical interventions.

The goal is to optimize surgical precision, reduce invasiveness, and improve clinical outcomes through innovative solutions. This thematic area fosters close collaboration among surgeons, engineers, and scientists to develop and test technologies that redefine the standards of modern surgery.

The research project will be defined in collaboration with the tutor.

Innovative Methodologies in Clinical Research and Translational Medicine
