The Department was established in 2018 through the fusion between the Department of Experimental Biomedicine and Clinical Neuroscience (Bio.Ne.C.) and the Department of Biopathology and Medical Biotechnology (Di.Bi.Med.) with a view to consolidating and enriching scientific and educational objectives and specific cultural skills.
The Bi.N.D currently consists of 112 professors distributed as follows:
• 21 RTD, both A and B,
• 16 permanent researchers,
• 45 Associate professors and
• 30 Full professors.
The technical-administrative staff consists of 27 personnel units

The scientific purpose of the Department is not only to strengthen, promote and increase the scientific skills of individual Professors and research groups but also to contribute, through research activity, to the growth of the social and economic development of the geographical area of reference by strengthening its relationships with the entire context society. The Department intends to offer a contribution in this direction, through the positive integration of an ever-increasing number of projects of an interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary nature, based on cooperation with local, national and international institutions.
The main focus of the Department is to promote, support and coordinate research activity in the field of Biomedical Sciences, including the area of Biology and Genetics, Macro and Microscopic Morphology, Functions at the biochemical, cellular and organ levels which, therefore, already have a multidisciplinary and integrated scientific nature. Another scientific branch that has consolidated scientific skills both on a disciplinary and technical-applicative level is that of Advanced Diagnostics.
In this context, the Department of Biomedicine, Neuroscience and Advanced Diagnostics moves according to the following strategic guidelines:
Disciplinary Integration and Complementarity: multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach, capable of limiting the fragmentation of knowledge and skills.
Applicative Approach to Knowledge: in order to acquire professional skills that can be effectively used in the labour market.
Innovation: an element inherent in the Mission of the Department being established, as highlighted by the three cultural articulations that find an effective synthesis in the name: Biomedicine, Neuroscience and Advanced Diagnostics.
Internationalization: an indispensable, common and transversal reference context in which the activities, professional interactions and projects of the newly established Department must be placed and, therefore, its placement in a virtuous global dimension.
