The Human Technopole Foundation has published an open call to appoint an outstanding scientist and visionary leader as its second Director to guide the next stages of the life sciences research Institute’s development.
Current Director Iain Mattaj will complete his four-year mandate on 31 December 2022. Having reached 70 years of age, Prof. Mattaj is unfortunately unable to continue for a second mandate and will therefore be handing over to the new Director in January 2023.
The new Director, chosen by an international search committee appointed by the Foundation’s Supervisory Board, will take over from the very successful start-up phase led by Prof. Mattaj during which HT built up core lab facilities, recruited over 20 world-class research group leaders and attracted nearly 8.5 million euros in extramural funding.
The new Director will ensure full continuity by further expanding on these successes with the necessary scientific leadership and guidance.
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.
