Human Technopole and University of Milan sign agreement
12 June 2019 – The Rector of Università Statale in Milan Elio Franzini and the President of Human Technopole Marco Simoni met today to sign a partnership agreement that foresees a series of important collaborations in the fields of science and education between the two institutions.
The agreement lays the foundation for synergies in the use of laboratories and research facilities, the exchange of research staff at all levels, the development of research projects and programs in areas of common interest and joint public engagement activities. Further details will be set in subsequent and specific program agreements.
Elio Franzini, Rector of the University, commented: “Today we begin an important collaboration between our University and Human Technopole in a great variety of areas of common interest, particularly in the field of life sciences. This will allow synergies and strategic opportunities for both institutions, enhancing our potential in scientific research and education, in the development of international networks and projects, in technological innovation and in the dissemination of scientific culture”.
“We are proud to start from Milan and Università Statale with the first of a series of agreements that we intend to sign with various Italian universities to facilitate the exchange of information and resources and create opportunities for mutual development”, underlined President Marco Simoni. “Human Technopole has the ambition to be an institution open to collaborations with universities, hospitals, institutions and centers. To enrich and add value to the existing ecosystem of Italian research.
Two research projects from Human Technopole have won the Fondazione Telethon and Cariplo grant to uncover the genetic and molecular mechanisms of acute myeloid leukemia and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The projects, led by Alice Giustacchini (Group Leader of Genomics) and Emanuele Villa and Nicolò Caporale (Testa Group, Neurogenomics), have been respectively funded with €230,000 and €250,000.
Two Human Technopole researchers have been awarded the Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship, one of the most prestigious fellowships for early career researchers: Dr. Carlos Jiménez and Dr. Albert Navarro Gallinad. Dr. Navarro Gallinad’s research project, presented today on National Women’s Health Day, will investigate the environmental risks faced by pregnant women by analysing almost 1,000,000 births in Lombardy over the last twelve years. Dr. Jiménez will study how the spatial arrangement of nuclear proteins contributes to optimal cell functioning.
Three young scientists from Human Technopole have, for the first time since its foundation, obtained a doctoral degree while pursuing their research within the institute: Alessandro Vinceti, Davide Castaldi, and Marco Tullio Rigoli, all enrolled in the systems medicine programme of the European School of Molecular Medicine (SEMM).
Milan also means research, and this year Human Technopole is taking part in the city’s promotional campaign for the Milan Design Week, which will take place from 15 to 21 April 2024.
Human Technopole’s Director Marino Zerial was invited last week to give the Lectio Magistralis during the inauguration ceremony of University of Genoa’s academic year 2023-2024.
