SINEUP long non-coding RNAs: when structure meets function
Human Technopole and RIKEN researchers identify conserved short structural motifs within natural SINE-transcribed RNAs that enhance target mRNAs’ transcription, thus shedding new light on the SINEUPs’ function.
-
Role of inherited genetic variants in rare blood cancer uncovered
Combining three different sources of genetic information has allowed researchers to further understand why only some people with a common mutation go on to develop rare blood cancer
-
Hundreds of new targets accelerate cancer drug discovery
The second generation of the Cancer Dependency Map uncovers 370 priority drug targets, with strong links to specific cancer types.

The Consiglio di Sorveglianza of the Human Technopole Foundation has appointed eight experts with proven professional qualifications to form the Standing Independent Evaluation Committee (CIVP).
Research at HT
Improving human health and well-being 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.
Discover more about our:
Thanks to a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the study of human biology, HT’s research aims to understand the mechanisms underlying various diseases, exploiting the technological advances of the last decade and the enormous amount of biological, clinical and socio-economic data currently available to improve the national healthcare system and the quality of life of all citizens.
Human Technopole’s research is based on five interdisciplinary research areas: Genomics, Neurogenomics, Structural Biology, Computational Biology and Health Data Science.
Starting from early 2024, Human Technopole will be opening the first National Facilities available to the national scientific community to carry out top-level research in their respective fields.
