PhD days 2024
Students from the Research Doctorate in Biology will present and discuss their projects during the "PhD days 2024"PhDay 2023 - Consegna dei diplomi ai nuovi dottori di ricerca e conferimento Premi per "Miglior Tesi Dottorale di Settore"
Il prossimo 2 dicembre a partire dalle ore 10:00 presso l’Aula Magna del Polo Carmignani, si terrà l'evento PHDay 2023.
La mattina sarà dedicata alla presentazione dell’offerta dottorale ai nuovi immatricolati, mentre il pomeriggio si svolgerà la Cerimonia di Consegna dei diplomi ai nuovi dottori di ricerca e il conferimento dei premi per la “Miglior Tesi dottorale di Settore".
Per la partecipazione, vi chiediamo cortesemente di compilare il seguente form entro il 24 novembre p.v.
Tools for Advanced Data Analyses in Biology
The TADAB workshop aims at improving skills of the attendees concerning some of the advanced analytical tools for biological analyses. A theoretical basis will be provided to better interpret the output of the practical sessions. Topics of the lectures will span from indepth regression and machine learning analyses to coalescent models for species delimitation. The proper management and visualization of data will be also included. Ph.D. students will be the main target of this workshop. Nevertheless, researchers of all grades, post-doc, master and bachelor students will be welcome!

Human neural stem cell models to dissect WDR62-related microcephaly
WDR62 is a scaffold protein localized to the spindle poles during mitosis and involved in symmetric versus asymmetric cell division choices in neural progenitors during brain development. Pathogenic mutations of WDR62 account for the second most common of genetic primary microcephaly (MCPH2). The research conducted for this Ph.D. project used patient’s iPSCs, neural stem cell derivatives, cerebral organoids, and CRISPR-Cas9 technology to investigate the molecular basis of MCPH2 – enlightening the consequences of a specific WDR62 mutation, and more broadly contributing to a wider comprehension of WDR62-related MCPH pathological mechanisms.
