At the present we have several active research lines where students can find a place to accomplish their thesis (triennale, magistrale, e dottorale)

 

Students can browse our research activity in order to get an idea of what we are doing.

Our goals:

1) Make students to growth culturally, by learning new approaches, methods, and reading the scientific literature

2) Make students independent in organizing the given research

3) Make students responsible and behaving properly, like an adult biologist should do in a laboratory

4) Find new results, possibly original (sorry, very often this is not possible)

 

Rules:

We welcome students almost at the end of their exam courses. The experimental thesis will begin when maximum 2 exams are left.

We do not count each thesis period on the basis of hours spent in the laboratory. Rather, each thesis has a goal. We define a specific goal, commensurate to each specific type of thesis. Once the goal is reached, the thesis is completed. Slower is the progression of the research, later will be the moment of the graduation. So far, we did not have encountered problems with the timing of the thesis.

In general, the average time for a "magistrale" is one year. We welcome students who participate continuously, regularly, and daily, to the laboratory activities. It is the responsibility of the student to decide the entrance and exit times, however we believe that passionate students have great motivation to study, read articles, accelerate experiments, and so on...

Collaboration is the key of a success. If an experiment (or many experiments) goes (went) wrong or a mistake (s) has (have) been made, we appreciate very much the honesty and sincerity of an admission. Hiding any problem will end up in bad research. We appreciate a lot -very very much- the responsible students who have the intelligence to tell what went wrong or who makes his best effort to help in understanding the bags in the experiments. 

We appreciate very much education.

 

As additional educational activity, we force all of us (including ourselves) to perform recycling of the garbage. Here you can find a brief presentation.

Here you can find another educational presentation on energy saving.

 

If you want to be queued for your entrance in our laboratories, please write an e-mail for an appointment. We will know each other in person and after filling in a form in 2-6 months you can get in.
