The 11th Seminar of PhD students in Infectious Diseases, Microbiology and Health Sciences has been delayed and will be carried out online due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, this tragical event, that has dramatically affected people’s life all over the world, will be the core of the topics considered. The Seminar is scheduled in four days, each characterized by an in-depth analysis of topics related to the pandemic, such as the establishment of predictive models, the clinical, diagnostic and anatomopathological aspects, the effects of social distancing and the impact of the pandemic on the socially less-favoured people.
