HT at Social Innovation Campus
Human Technopole takes part in the second edition of the Social Innovation Campus promoted by MIND’s Social Innovation Academy of MIND of Fondazione Triulza. The initiative, which will take place entirely online on 3-4 February 2021, is aimed at young people, university and secondary schools students.
The theme of this year’s campus is “Social Tech: a reaction to restart“, with the aim of bringing together all the best innovations, energies and ideas to react to the difficult economic and social scenario created by the pandemic. The themes of sustainable development and the co-design approach between different worlds that characterize the Campus are also in line with the objectives of the “Next Generation EU” (Recovery fund): accelerating the dual green and digital transition and strengthening social enterprises through innovation processes.
Here the details of HT’s events:
Wednesday 3 February h11.00
Scientific innovations: cryo-electron microscopy
Paolo Swuec, Head of CryoElectron Microscopy Facility
Thursday 4 February h14.30
New scientific professions: the importance of computer scientists for the future of scientific research

Colorectal Cancer: ML Enhances Cetuximab Response Predictions
An international collaborative study led by Human Technopole, Candiolo Cancer Institute IRCCS in Turin, the University of Turin, and the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge (UK) has identified new factors associated with therapeutic response in colorectal cancer. The research has led to the development of a machine-learning model capable of accurately predicting the effects of cetuximab, a drug in clinical use, on different colorectal tumour subtypes. Funded by the AIRC Foundation, the study paves the way to identifying molecular features that could serve as biomarkers for predicting treatment response in patients with this type of cancer.
