  • Mosaic Organoids to Study the Brains of Multiple Patients Simultaneously

    An international team of scientists from Human Technopole and the University of Milan has developed and validated an innovative approach to studying human brain development across multiple individuals simultaneously using single organoids—laboratory models that replicate key cellular processes of human neurodevelopment. The research paves the way for in vitro population studies. Additionally, the scientists have developed a novel computational method to more accurately quantify the genetic identity of individual cells profiled from multiple individuals concurrently. The findings have been published in Nature Methods.

Research at HT

Improving human life and technology by investing in human health and prevention research is the ultimate goal of Human Technopole. We need to prevent and cure diseases to allow people of all ages to not only live longer, but also live better.

To accomplish its mission, HT’s research strives to unravel fundamental mechanisms relevant to human physiology and disease using a multi-scale systems biology approach, based on a combination of experimental research and theory, coupled with computational biology and Artificial Intelligence.

Shared Research Infrastructure

To fulfil the needs of the Italian life science research community, HT infrastructure includes 5 National Facilities, serving as technological hubs and incubators for developing and disseminating new tools and methodologies and for carrying out top-level research.

Courses and Conferences

The overarching and inspiring theme for HT’s external training activities is to create at HT a centre of excellence for training promising researchers in the biomedical sciences, while providing broad access to HT’s expertise, methods, and resources to the external community. Courses and conferences are supported by institutional and external funding, and sponsorships are welcome.
