Human Technopole

Using advanced stem cell models, Human Technopole researchers show how mutations in the YY1 gene cause widespread dysregulation of genes crucial for brain development in multiple cell types, leading to structural abnormalities and impaired neuronal function. The results of the research are published in the Nature Portfolio journal Molecular Psychiatry.

Human Technopole is proud to announce the launch of its new Gender Equality Plan (GEP) for 2025-2027, a strategic initiative designed to further integrate gender equality across all aspects of the Institute, building upon the successful outcomes of the previous GEP (2022-2024). HT has also achieved the UNI/PdR 125:2022 certification, which recognizes organizations that promote gender equality and foster inclusive workplaces.

Human Technopole is offering 2 fully funded 4-year PhD fellowships to young scientists from the national and international community who wish to undertake a doctoral degree on a project focused on Computational Biology.

Meet Alice Giustacchini, Research Group Leader in Population and Medical Genomics. Her project, titled “Tailoring Precision Immunotherapy to Paediatric Acute Myeloid Leukaemia,” aims to study the cellular and molecular dynamics of CAR-T cell therapy in blood cancers.

The new call for Access to the National Facilities services is now open! The Human Technopole’s National Facilities continue to expand their support for cutting-edge research by launching the first Call for Access of 2025. Building on the success of the 24-PILOT call, to which over 120 projects have applied, this new opportunity allows researchers to benefit from state-of-the-art technologies and expertise.

Human Technopole is honoured to have participated in today’s meeting at the Quirinale, where President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella welcomed a delegation from MIND on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the universal exposition Milano EXPO 2015.
