The Department of Health Sciences (DSS) of the University of Florence places the promotion of health and psychophysical well-being at the core of its mission, directing departmental teaching, research, and third mission activities toward the development of innovative knowledge and skills to address the preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic, bioethical, and biomedical-legal challenges associated with protecting personal and public health.

Our Ph.D. program has been designed to provide rigorous training in statistical theory and methods, with the goal of enabling students to carry out original research in biostatistics. Graduates of our Ph.D. program are prepared to: Conduct theoretical and methodological research in biostatistics. Employ modern statistical techniques in the analysis of large and/or complex data sets in the health sciences.

Our goal is to cultivate the next generation of pioneering researchers and leaders in medical science through a PhD programme that emphasises innovation, collaboration, and excellence.

Cancer research is a multidisciplinary scientific field. Basic cancer research uses in vitro and in vivo models to identify tumour-specific regulatory mechanisms and targets for cancer therapy. It investigates the cellular mechanisms of carcinogens in order to understand the causes of cancer and analyses exogenous and endogenous factors that contribute to tumour development. The results are used to develop diagnostic procedures, new therapies and prevention strategies.
