UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI PADOVA (UNIPD)
Padova, Italy
The University of Padova (UNIPD) is a premier Italian university located in the city of Padua, Italy. UNIPD employs over 2,300 faculty members (professors and researchers), 800 post-doc researchers and 1,400 PhD students. UNIPD researchers publish an overall average of around 10,000 research papers per year in scientific journals, books, book chapters and other research products. The Department of Molecular Medicine (DMM) of UNIPD arose from the cultural request to bring together areas of scientific knowledge, which converge in their application in the study of medicine at the molecular level. The work of DMM involves various fields, which all converge on the study of biology and human diseases. DMM comprises personnel with reciprocal competences in tissue, cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology and virology, infectious diseases and chemotherapy. Cultural contiguity among these areas derives from integration between biomedicine and evidence-based medicine. The personnel of DMM do their clinical activity at the Clinical Microbiology and Virology Laboratory of Padova University Hospital. The Laboratory, which is the Reference Laboratory for the Veneto Region (5 millions inhabitants), Italy, and has been designated European Reference Laboratory for Public Health on Vector Borne Viral Pathogenes.
