Human Technopole

The Consiglio di Sorveglianza of the Human Technopole Foundation has approved the implementation of five National Facilities, intended as infrastructural facilities with a high technological impact, available to the national research community. As prescribed by the Convenzione stipulated pursuant to Law 160/2019, the approval follows a two-stage public consultation process: the first stage involved representatives […]

More than 80 immune-mediated diseases have been identified to date. However, it is unclear whether the same genetic factors underpin their onset. By coupling statistical methods with genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the Soskic group has shown that diverse immune-mediated diseases have distinct genetic patterns that converge on activating the same cells and signalling pathways. Immune-mediated […]

As part of the MIND Innovation Week, on May 11 2023, Human Technopole’s Centre for Innovation and Technology Transfer (CITT) organised an event dedicated to technology transfer in life sciences, starting with a success story from the ecosystem of MIND – Milano Innovation District. We gave space to the story of Beatrice Riva, researcher and […]

Human Technopole is offering up to 2 fully funded PhD fellowships to young scientists from the national and international community who wish to undertake a doctoral degree in Data Analytics and Decision Sciences on a project focused on Health Data Science or Population and Medical Genomics. We encourage applications from highly motivated graduates with outstanding […]

Human Technopole is looking for enthusiastic postdoctoral researchers interested in applying for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2023. Projects should focus on one of the areas of the five HT’s Research Centres: Computational Biology, Structural Biology, Genomics, Neurogenomics and Health Data Science. The objective of PFs is to support researchers’ careers and foster excellence in research. The Postdoctoral Fellowships action targets […]

Which brain connections coordinate the sense of sight with movement, for example maintaining stable vision while walking or moving our eyes? How is cholesterol formed and what functions does it have in its intermediate steps? These are the topics of the research projects awarded the Early Career Fellowship Programme, a call for proposals launched by […]

The first symposium on “Gender Equality and Diversity at HT” took place today at the Human Technopole Auditorium. The aim of the event was to discuss why there are differences in the career outcomes of men and women and how we can act to promote equality and inclusion at HT. During the event we heard from Gerlind […]

The Supervisory Board of the Human Technopole Foundation has appointed Marino Zerial as the institute’s new Director. Currently Director of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, a research institution he helped found over 25 years ago, Marino Zerial is also an honorary professor at the Faculty of Medicine […]

Magda Bienko, Group Leader at the Functional Genomics Centre at Human Technopole has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant for her research project “Radialis”. The project, which has earned a funding of 2 million euros, aims to understand the design principles shaping genome architecture. Within our cells, DNA is folded in a three-dimensional structure. The […]

A web-based application developed by the Iorio Group and the IT & digitalisation team at Human Technopole helps non-computational scientists process and analyse CRISPR-Cas9 screens by reducing false-positive hits. CRISPR/Cas9 technology has become the gold standard for genome and epigenome editing, for studying the regulation of gene expression, and for high-throughput screenings aiming at identifying […]
