Summer and Winter Schools

The Summer and Winter Schools are intensive courses, designed to meet new needs for cultural and interdisciplinary study

Chemical and genomics-based strategies in the discovery of novel drug targets

In the last decade, we have witnessed changes in the design and conduction of research in the biomedical field, resulting from the decoding of the human genome. In particular, it is relevant that the revolution has been focused on the discovery of new drugs and new drug targets thanks to genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics. The selection and validation of new drug targets requires a number of research strategies that have been developed recently. The aim of the School is to spread among young people in education and among those who are already working in this field, how to best use the tools offered by the most advanced research and updated.
