We are excited to share that the redevelopment works of the North Pavilion and South Pavilion of the Human Technopole campus have been completed.
The buildings, originally built for Expo Milano 2015 to accommodate exhibition space and restaurants will now host laboratory and office space as well as state-of-the-art facilities for life science research.
The North Pavilion works were completed in mid-March 2021. The ground floor of the pavilion will host HT’s Cryo-EM Facility and Light Microscopy Facility equipped with latest technologies. The first floor of the building will host an open space office setting with worksations for microscopy image analysis. The building has been adapted to meet the technical requirements of the microscopes, for example by managing the environmental conditions of the rooms and inserting special platforms to avoid vibrations and support the machines’ weight.
The South Pavilion works were completed in mid-April 2021. The full redevelopment of the building meets the engineering and testing needs of the laboratories and is in line with energy efficiency requirements. It will host lab spaces for Neurogenomics and Genomics and research activities as well as part of HT’s core facilities. It will have feature 60 and 90 workstations (depending on the final layout) and will link to Palazzo Italia, Human Technopole’s institutional headquarters, through a suspended tunnel.
Both buildings will now be furnished and set up to welcome Human Technopole researchers in the coming months.
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.
