PhD Program in Arterial Hypertension and Vascular Biology

PhD Program in Arterial Hypertension and Vascular Biology

The PhD program in Arterial Hypertension and Vascular Biology is based in the Department of Medicine – DIMED of the University of Padua. This is a referral centre for Arterial Hypertension and cardiovascular diseases in Italy and a Centre of Excellence for Hypertension Research of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH). https://www.unipd.it/dottoratoscheda/arhyvab.

This programme is the first in Europe devoted to Hypertension research and was established in conjunction with the University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy.

About the PhD Course

The PhD entails specific commitment and training in the following areas:

1. Experimental research

Vascular biology with emphasis on the endothelium and endothelial (dys)function, and its role in the control of vascular tone;
Salt and water homeostasis;
Pathophysiology of control of blood pressure;
Molecular analysis methodologies;
Experimental atherosclerosis;
Arterial hypertension from animal models;
Molecular and experimental pharmacology;
Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of anti-hypertensive medications.

2. Clinical research

Epidemiology and statistics applied to hypertension;
Principles of pharmaco-economics applied to hypertension;
Methodologies for assessment of target organ damage in hypertension;
Pathophysiology of the secondary forms of hypertension;
Guidelines for risk stratification and treatment;
Design and planning of clinical trials in hypertension.

Curriculum

The First Year of Research

The student will do coursework and labwork.

The curriculum will involve:

General research methods training. An introductory course is held every year at the Venetian Institute of Medicine (VIMM) by the Faculty members of all PhD Courses of the University of Padua and outside experts in scientific fields. The course is focused on ‘How to do research” and covers applications of chemistry and physics to Medicine, genetics, molecular biology, statistics, ethics and social aspects.
Attendance at research workshops and seminars held by the Faculty members and PhD students or outside speakers, mostly focussed on the cardiovascular system.
Advanced coursework in the laboratories. The PhD student has the chance to be educated at a variety of techniques and introduced to a wide array of inter-disciplinary and comprehensive cardiovascular disease programs.

Second and Third Year of Research

Once upgraded to the 2nd year PhD student status, the student will concentrate on his/her PhD labwork to prepare his/her final dissertation. As research progresses, there will be opportunities to present work in progress at research workshops attended by Faculty members and research students. The PhD student will have also the opportunity to attend Journal Club and the Weekly Meetings given by outside speakers and Faculty members.

At the 2^nd or the 3^rd year the PhD student will spend at least 6 months abroad, at research organisations and universities collaborating with the PhD course.

The normal deadline for submission of the dissertation will be the end of December in the third year of research. Within this time, an original work focussed on the assigned theme should have been completed and discussed in detail with the tutor. The defence will occur about 2 months after, at the presence of the Faculty members.

At the end of the 1st year the PhD student is expected to have practised skills of organizing, structuring, and presenting research, Hence, he/she will be assigned to a specific research project in the field of Arterial Hypertension and Vascular biology under the strict supervision of an experienced tutor. Whether 1st year PhD student is upgraded to PhD status at the end of the first year of research will depend on his/her performance in the curriculum.Second and Third Year of ResearchOnce upgraded to the 2nd year PhD student status, the student will concentrate on his/her PhD labwork to prepare his/her final dissertation.
