The AI4Life project launched today, marks an exciting chapter in the computational and life science research communities. The €4 million Horizon Europe funded project aims to create accessible, harmonized, and interoperable AI tools and methods for solving today’s microscopy image analysis problems. The gap Machine learning (ML) has accelerated frontier research in the life sciences, […]

Milan, 24 September 2022  Dear Researchers  on behalf of the Consiglio di Sorveglianza of the Foundation that I chair, I would like to confirm that I have received and read with great attention the letter addressed to us in recent days by hundreds of Italian researchers, in which they reaffirm the great interest that the […]

Nervous system organoids are three-dimensional (3D) cellular models derived from human pluripotent stem cells that represent key tools to study the development of the human nervous system. In a perspective article published in Nature, Giuseppe Testa and colleagues critically review the origin, nomenclature, and classification of these popular neuronal 3D cellular models. Their work proposes […]

The installation ‘Urban.Climate.Oasis Milano’, selected as part of the S+T+ARTS call promoted by the European Commission, was inaugurated today at Human Technopole: the waste heat produced by the Institute will feed a greenhouse for the cultivation of algae that will be used to study human biology. The work is by Markus Jeschaunig, an internationally renowned […]

Genetic variants are alternative versions of the DNA sequence that can sometimes be associated with the risk of developing a disease, including autoimmune disorders. Determining the causality between genetic variants and autoimmunity is difficult, due to technical limitations of existing mapping strategies. Blagoje Soskic and collaborators summarise how Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have contributed to […]
