PhD programme in DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT 2015-2019

Scholarship Programme Promoting Institutional Cooperation and Mobility for 12 early stage researchers

Mission

The mission of MoGlyNet is to define a joint doctorate educational training model in Drug Discovery and Development where Academia and Industry, supported by other institutions/organizations, join their forces for:

  • Creating a common platform of knowledge and language for 12 early stage researchers(ESR) working in the Drug Discovery and Development area aiming to convey complementary Pharma-skills
  • Exploiting this platform to train a new generation of cutting-edge researchers and professionals highly attractive for employment by the European Pharma-industry and regulatory authorities
  • Establishing structures for long-term cooperation, strengthening the relationships among the leading Universities and Pharma-enterprises and to continuously develop the research training platform that European industry relies on

Doctorate Courses/Schools

  • University of Milan: Pharmaceutical Sciences
  • University of Milan: Experimental and Clinical Pharmacological Sciences
  • University of Aberdeen: Graduate School in Life Sciences and Medicine
  • University of Antwerp: Antwerp Doctoral School
  • University of Barcelona Doctoral School
  • University of Leiden: Graduate School of Leiden University Medical Center

Research project

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in the western world. Thanks to cholesterol-lowering drugs, the lifespan and wellbeing of patients have been significantly improved. However, a large group of patients does not fully benefit from current lipid-lowering strategies.
Our multidisciplinary approach is focused on counteracting neovessel formation to prevent plaque rupture and its cardiovascular complications, thus leading to a more effective therapy for atherosclerosis.

Research methodology and approach

The MoGlyNet consortium is strongly multidisciplinary and takes advantage of a number of different state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies:

  • Computational chemistry and synthesis
  • Bioanalytics and biophysics
  • In vitro and in vivobiological evaluation
  • Imaging
  • Metabolomic and Proteomic studies
  • Oxidative stress studies
