Course contents

Health and Longevity, a joint project supported by the University of Bergamo and Mario Negri Institute, offers a highly specialized education and research program to address the complexity of future challenges in the field of health and longevity.

In particular, the main objective is to provide advanced education and research opportunities to train young and talented researchers with multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral skills in the following areas:

- design, development and application of novel technologies to promote health status, psychological and relational well-being during aging;
- biomedical research of the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for aging and strategies to prolong health condition;
- managerial, organizational, economic-financial, legal-regulatory, and socioeconomic aspects related to the needs of aging, delivery, access, and utilization of social-health services and their impact at the patient and organizational level.
In order to achieve this goal, the Ph.D students will face problems that characterize health and longevity from different perspectives and interrelated issues such as those of biomedical sciences, engineering-technology, human movement for health, psychology and neuroscience, socio-economics, management, and law.

The doctoral program is characterized by a high degree of multidisciplinarity and transversality involving researchers with different and complementary expertise aiming at promoting the extension of lifespan and maintaining a good health status and quality of life. This is possible through the design and implementation of opportunities for individuals and the territory that preserve and improve health in the medium to long term, even in highly technologized settings, and ensure services according to economic, organizational and social sustainability.

The doctoral program comprises a period of study abroad and, thanks to a collaboration network of the research groups involved in the program, Ph.D students will get in contact with research centers and high profile international companies, promoting the mix of knowledge, the connection among different cultural environments, and the creation of a network of young talented researches at an international level.

Finally, the Ph.D students will have access to the various laboratories available at the University of Bergamo and Mario Negri Institute equipped with cutting-edge technology.

Duration: the program lasts three years.

Grants: 12 scholarships are issued in 2023; among them: 2 grants funded by Mario Negri Institute, 5 by Anthem PNNR project, and 1 by MUR.

Career opportunities: Ph.D graduates will be able to deal with the complexity of future challenges in the field of Health and Longevity and can find employment and play key roles both in Italy and abroad, at:

- universities (public and private) to develop and promote research and new initiatives for training in the considered fields;
- research centers of public and private institutions;
- public and private hospitals and national health agencies to carry out activities related to human health-related fields;
- private and public companies that increasingly require professionals with multidisciplinary and multi-cultural skills;
- national and international agencies working in the field of policies to support health and longevity.

Employment opportunities

I dottori di ricerca potranno raccogliere la complessità delle sfide future nell’ambito della Salute e della Longevità e rivestire, sia in Italia sia all'estero, ruoli chiave e direzionali in:
1) università (pubbliche e private) per promuovere la ricerca e nuove iniziative per la formazione negli ambiti considerato;
2) centri di ricerca in istituti pubblici e privati;
3) aziende ospedaliere pubbliche e private e ATS per svolgere attività inerenti ai settori correlati con la salute umana; 4) aziende private, pubbliche e di servizi che richiedono sempre più figure professionali con competenze multidisciplinari e multi culturali;
5) agenzie nazionali ed internazionali che operano nell'ambito delle politiche a supporto della salute e della longevità. Il CdD permetterà di rafforzare la presenza di giovani ricercatori talentuosi in Italia e in Europa rispondendo
così all'esigenza di formare figure di alto profilo per affrontare e promuovere nuovi filoni di ricerca nelle aree
citate in un contesto internazionale. Infine, per di verificare l'aderenza della propria offerta formativa agli effettivi impieghi occupazionali, oltre alla consultazione con i soggetti esterni mediante il Board of Advisors, il corso di dottorato periodicamente analizzerà le indagini occupazionali Almalaurea: https://www.almalaurea.it/i-dati/le-nostre-indagini/condizione-occupazionale-dottori-di-ricerca.
