The PhD in Biotechnology has the mission to train highly educated students on Biotechnological Process. To achieve this goal, the PhD course combines the theoretical knowoledge with practice tools on the modern Biotechnology. The education path developes the following skills within the student:

  • Advanced molecular and cellular knowledge on biological systems;
  • Fundamentals of process development for biotechnological applications;
  • Research metholodology aimed at developing innovation in biotechology;
  • Knolwdge of legislation, deonthology and ethics issues in the field  of biotechnology;
  • Managment and coordination of human resourses as well as technical tools and materials involved in the development of biotechonological applications;
  • Advanced knowledge and scientific practice of at least one language (preferably english) from a EU country other than Italy;
  • Managment and communication of up-to-date information in biotechnology.

The members of the Board of Teachers belong to the Dept of Chemical Sciences, Biology, Agriculture, Physics, Molecular Medicine and Medical Biotechnology, Chemical, Materials and Industrial Production Engineering. The Board of Teachers includes also several members from prestigious foreign universities. Moreover, the PhD commission always includes two foreign members. Indeed the PhD course has a strong international footprint, being subsidised on this aspect by the Italian Minister of Education and University (MIUR) and keeping several connection and relationship with excellences coming from foreign Universities or Research Institues. Thanks to a long lasting relationship between the "An-Najah National University", Nablus, Palestine and the University of Naples "Federico II" in the field of higher education and scientific research, the PhD course in Biotechnology reserves a position in each cycle for students graduated at the An-Najah University.

The heterogeneity and trasversality of the professional competences point out the multidisciplinarity of both the topics and the methodologies of the research fields, which are specifically suited for industrial application. This represent a clear peculiarity of the PhD in Biotechnology with respect to the other PhD courses at University of Napoli Federico II.

Moreover the PhD route is based also on several connections established by the members of the commissions with industrial environment at regional, national and international level. A specific PhD program mainly established in regional SME is also active ("Dottorato in azienda"), which fooster the connection between the PhD student and the local industrial substrate.




The PhD students in Botechnology have been sensibly appreciated in their specific research field by the academic  community and private companies. As an example, the number and quality of pubblications achieved by the PhD students is very high with respect to other similar PhD courses and the Thesis level is approved by an international commission. The evaluation panel of the University has always graded the PhD in biotechnology at the highest positions within the list of all the PhD courses.
 


Since 2018 the PhD in Biotechnology dedicates a scholarship to the memory of Giulio Regeni.





A survey on the enployment of the PhDs in Biotechnology, over 90 people who got the title from 2011 to 2020, revealed that:

- The average time for employment is 4 months. (Only three PhDs had no position one year after the defense of the thesis.)

- 75% got a temporary position in public or private research organisations;
- 25%
got a permanent position in industries.

- 70% found a position in Italy, 28% found a position in Europe and 2% found a position in US

All of them think that their PhD was determining in getting an highly qualified job.

These data show that the training of the PhD in Biotechnology fully meets the needs of the research community (public and private) and of the business world, contributing to the training of a professional figure who does not encounter difficulties in finding a job.


The PhD in Biotechnology was born in 2001 with the mission to answer at the demand of new professionalities in Biotechnology as a new discipline involved in several research fileds in public and prvate sectors in the world. In the next years the course started to belong to the PhD school in Biotechnology, which was constitued by three routes: Industrial and Molecular Biotechnology, Medical Biotechnology, and Agricultural Biotechnology. since the 29th cycle (2014-2017) the former PhD course in Bioechnology has been reconstituted.
