Today CNR President Maria Chiara Carrozza visited Human Technopole headquarters together with a delegation of department and institute directors of the National Research Council. HT Director Iain Mattaj and HT President Marco Simoni were joined at the meeting by representatives of the institute’s research areas who gave President Carrozza a tour of Human Technopole’s first laboratory spaces.
“We are very pleased to welcome to Palazzo Italia the newly appointed CNR President Maria Chiara Carrozza. Since its very early stages, Human Technopole has initiated a dialogue with representatives of the national scientific community to build a collaborative network and bring added value to an already thriving research ecosystem. We share with CNR our commitment to scientific excellence, an open and international approach and our goal of training the next generation of scientists” stated prof. Mattaj.
President Carrozza underlined, “I am happy to have met, together with the directors of Cnr, the top management and colleagues of Human Technopole and to have visited their headquarters. It was an informal, simple and friendly visit, in the spirit of a meeting between researchers, but important to prepare ourselves for the challenges we will face post-pandemic, starting from ecological transition, digital transformation and health. Challenges in which the contribution of research, and particularly biomedical research, is fundamental “.
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 (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.
