Department of Biology
A Center of Excellence in Research and Education
The Department of Biology (DiBio) at the University of Padua is a national and international point of reference for the study of life sciences.
Housed in the modern “Vallisneri” complex, the department is distinguished by a multidisciplinary approach spanning molecular and cellular biology, genetics, physiology, ecology, and evolution.
This breadth of expertise is reflected in a strong educational offering, including undergraduate programs in Biology and Molecular Biology, as well as prestigious master’s programs such as Evolutionary Biology and Marine Biology, thus training the next generation of biologists with cutting-edge skills.
A highlight of the department is its intensive research activity, recognized by the MIUR’s “Progetto di Eccellenza,” which aims to position DiBio as a leader in research on biological networks. Its laboratories are the site of significant discoveries, with recent studies opening new perspectives in the fight against diseases such as Parkinson’s and in the development of innovative therapies to counter tumor growth.
The faculty, which includes renowned professors, is actively engaged in international collaborations and high-profile research projects, providing a dynamic and stimulating scientific environment for students and researchers.
The high rankings in both national and international assessments confirm the Department of Biology at the University of Padua as a top choice for those wishing to pursue a career in the biological sciences.
