COVID19. La Stampa talks about the European project led by Professor Giuseppe Testa
La Stampa dedicates a wide article to the European project led by Prof. Giuseppe Testa, Head of our Research Centre for Neurogenomics and carried out together with the University of Milan, the Ieo and the Sacco Hospital. In the interview, the Professor explains the techniques used in the project – “using the best of high tech to discover how contagion evolves in many patients, different in age, health conditions and body reactions” – and the purpose – “By automating the analysis of samples, it will become possible to read them one by one and start building models that we do not have today. And it will become possible (…) to reposition existing drugs and re-use them in specific phases of the disease and for identifiable subgroups of patients“.
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.
