In 2020, Wistar launched a collaboration with the University of Bologna (Unibo) to bring graduate students from Unibo’s Cell and Molecular Biology program each year to Wistar for the entire duration of their three-year training.
While conducting research and working on a thesis project in a Wistar lab, each student is jointly supervised by the Wistar principal investigator who serves as an external mentor and a Unibo faculty who serves as a thesis supervisor.
The program promotes scientific and intellectual exchange and collaboration between investigators in Italy and the United States.
