  • POLARIS Project Explores the Code of mRNA Stability

    Human Technopole has been awarded a €1.35 million Consolidator Grant from the Fondo Italiano per la Scienza (FIS3) to investigate how cells control the stability of messenger RNAs. The funding will support the POLARIS project, led by the Legnini Group, which aims to uncover the molecular principles governing the synthesis and regulation of poly(A) tails, a key feature that determines how long mRNA molecules survive and function inside cells.

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.

HOW TO ACCESSArrow right

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.
