The PhD program in Public Health and Lifestyle has been established within the Department of Public Health, Experimental and Forensic Medicine.
With a focus on the health and well-being of both individuals and populations, the PhD in Public Health and Lifestyle is one of the very few doctoral programs in Italy centered on Public Health, and the first to combine the protection and promotion of public health with the study of the impact of lifestyle factors on health. It is divided into different thematic areas that cover not only the strictly medical-health fields — biostatistics, hygiene, occupational medicine, forensic medicine, and histology — but also proper lifestyle practices, specifically nutrition and physical activity for the promotion of well-being. The multidisciplinary approach that distinguishes it is also reflected in the composition of its Scientific Committee, which brings together experts from the national and international scene. These experts will provide the PhD students with the methodological tools to conduct observational and experimental studies in clinical and epidemiological fields, integrating clinical, biological, genetic and epigenetic, toxicological, physiological, nutritional, and environmental knowledge.
