After the publication of his latest work on Sciences Advances, Giuseppe Testa – Head of the Center for Neurogenomics – flew to the United States. Here he attended the Cold Spring Harbor Lab meeting on “the Development & 3D Modeling of the Human Brain” – the most important event on cerebral organs – and presented the research that will carry out in Human Technopole in this field.
The latest work led by Francesco Iorio – Group Leader of the Centre for Computational Biology – has been published in Nature Communications. The study demonstrates the consistency between large functional genomics datasets generated at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the Broad Institute with CRISPR-Cas9 technology, paves the way for their possible integration and lays the basis for the creation of a map of all genetic dependencies of cancer.
Human Technopole is opening its National Facilities, providing advanced equipment and technologies accessible through calls for proposals open to the Italian scientific community. Projects will be selected by a commission of international experts. Scientists will have access to five new dedicated facilities, which act as catalysts for open innovation in the life sciences sector, crucial for research and the health of Italians.
An international team of scientists led by HT researchers Magda Bienko and Nicola Crosetto developed an open-source software for deconvolution of widefield fluorescence microscopy image stacks and large tissue scans. This new tool increases the information obtained with fluorescence microscopy-based spatial omic methods.
HT researchers are part of an international team of scientists that discovered genetic clues to the cause of restless leg syndrome, a condition common among older adults. The finding could help identify those individuals at greatest risk of the condition and point to potential ways to treat it.
Human Technopole (HT) is glad to announce the availability of 4 new fully funded PhD positions in the fields of Health Data Science, Population and Medical Genomics and Computational Biology. These positions aim to attract highly motivated graduates with strong academic backgrounds who are interested in cutting-edge research in data science.
Human Technopole is offering up to 19 fully funded PhD scholarships to young scientists from the national and international community who wish to undertake a doctoral degree on a project focused on Computational Biology, Structural Biology, Genomics, Neurogenomics or Biophysical modelling.
