The Novara Medical School, its affiliated hospitals and research institutes are home to research laboratories working in all areas of bioscience and foster a stimulating and supportive environment for research training. Indeed, our environment guarantees expertise that will enable students to achieve their research goals, whether they are interested in biological mechanisms, disease-focused translational studies, or applied research. Through the numerous core facilities, they will have ready access to the latest, most advanced technologies. Because the Novara area is small and concentrated with biomedical researchers, students will never find them further than a short walk away from leading experts or emerging technology that can boost their research forward.
