Additional scholarship for the PhD "Biomolecular Sciences"
Dedicated to projects studying the relationship between diet, the microbiome, and brain health
The PhD program in Biomolecular Sciences offers one additional fully funded position for research projects on the topic: "Development of a microbiome-healthy diet to improve cognitive ageing and brain health-MIHEALTHYDIET".
The selected research project will focus on developing computational methods for the characterization of the human microbiome, with the aim to:
- investigate how microbiome-modifying diets affect markers of neuroinflammation and brain aging;
- decode the targets and pathways of the diet–microbiota–neuroinflammation–brain axis during aging.
The application deadline is 4:00 PM (Italian time) on 23 June 2025.
