Courses
The scientific and professional advanced teaching is based on lectures and practical courses. These last from one to three days and are aimed at newly graduated MD or PhD, as well as to Physicians, as refresher courses.

Seminars and workshops
(a) “Lezioni Magistrali”: twice yearly, one in basic research and one on clinical research, each held by eminent scientists.
(b) Formal seminars: one per month throughout the year, divided among basic and clinical research, held by external invited speakers.
(c) Progress reports held by members of the Institute, once a week for 48 weeks of the year.
(d) One or more international Workshops per year, again divided equally between basic and clinical research. These workshops are usually organised within the framework program of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO).

IRCC International Cancer Research Training Program
This scheme employs scientists of all nationalities to improve scientific exchange between the Institute’s researchers and colleagues who have matured qualifying experience in foreign institutions. The research field is at in the interface between molecular biology and medicine, referring in particular to today’s problems in molecular oncology.

The Marie Curie European Training Center
The European Commission has recognized IRCC as a qualified center for training young researchers in the experimental medical science field. Within the framework of the program, IRCC employs in rotation graduate students from member states for periods varying from six months to two years in the research laboratories.

PhD Program
The Institute offers three PhD programs under an agreement with the University of Torino:
(a) PhD in Cell Sciences and Technology,
(b) PhD in Complex Systems and Post Genomic Biology,
(c) PhD in Human Oncology.
The first, a four-year course, is aimed at young graduates in Medicine, Biological Sciences, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Pharmacology and Pharmacological Chemistry and Technology. It is aimed at training basic researchers in the medical and Biological Science fields.
The second is a four-year course, aimed at training graduates in the medical, life sciences mathematics and physics fields. The third, a three-year course, is for medics and Biological Science graduates and mainly aimed at training clinical researchers. All programs are available for both Italian and foreign students. Fellowships are provided under competitive basis.
