As required by the Statute of the Human Technopole Foundation, the Prime Minister with DPCM dated 29 January 2020 and sent to the Foundation in recent days has appointed four new members of the Supervisory Board who will join the seven members previously appointed.
– Prof. Massimo Inguscio, President of the National Research Council;
– Prof. Maria Grazia Roncarolo, Director of the Center for Definitive and Curative Medicine and professor of Pediatrics and Medicine at Stanford University in Stanford, USA;
– Prof. Gianluca Vago, President of the CNAO Foundation, former rector of the University of Milan;
– Prof. Alessandro Vespignani, professor of physics at Northeastern University and founding director of the Northeastern Network Science Institute in Boston, USA.
The Human Technopole Foundation welcomes the new members and wishes them good luck in their new role.
Five years since its inception, Human Technopole is now a dynamic institute where researchers from around the world have laid the foundations for unravelling the fundamental mechanisms of life across multiple biological scales – molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organisms, populations – in space and time.
The German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina has elected the Dresden and Italian cell biologist Marino Zerial as one of its members. Currently Director of Human Technopole, he is also one of the founding directors of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG).
The Harschnitz Group has been awarded a grant from the ItsME Foundation to develop a human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived brainstem model to understand brainstem encephalitis. The ItsME Foundation was founded in 2019 by Jur Deitmers and has its base in The Netherlands, with the goal to fight Meningitis and Encephalitis.
For the first time in nearly 20 years, Italy wins a Fellowship from the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP): our Karthik Ramanadane, Postdoc in the Coscia Group (Structural Biology), will pursue a challenging project on the molecular mechanisms of the thyroid at Human Technopole.
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.
