Four new Human Technopole managers leading key company areas (procurement, legal affairs, finance and human resources) will be operational starting from 1 August. The new heads of section will complete the team already at work. The four managers were chosen among the hundred of applications received for their strong profiles and proven track record, and are ready to put their experience to the service of the ambitious project at the heart of MIND – Milano Innovation District.
Paola Moscatelli had been leading the Procurement team since May 2019 following many years of experience at Trenord, a heavily structured company where she was able to make a first hand contribution, streamlining a number of purchasing processes. On 25 July, lawyer Andrea Callea took over as Head of Legal Affairs, after a long experience as in house counsel and freelance activity, including offering legal assistance to multidisciplinary research centres at national level. Starting from 1 August, the team will be completed by Giovanni Selmi, Head of Finance, with previous experience in various industrial sectors as Chief Financial Officer and Finance Director, and Giulia Bellet, covering HR roles in multinational companies operating in the agribusiness and pharmaceutical sector since 1999, who will serve as Human Technopole's Head of Human Resources, responsible for the management and organisational development.
An international study coordinated by Milan’s Human Technopole, the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London, and the Royal Marsden Hospital in London has shown that certain DNA fragments found in the blood of paediatric cancer patients can be used as “biomarkers” to obtain information on the characteristics of the disease and its ability to resist therapies. Analysing these fragments could represent an effective alternative to tumour tissue biopsy, a practice that is particularly difficult in children.
Human Technopole is honoured to have participated in today’s meeting at the Quirinale, where President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella welcomed a delegation from MIND on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the universal exposition Milano EXPO 2015.
Meet Carlos Jimenez, Postdoc in the Bienko Group (Genomics), who has been awarded a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship from the European Union. The grant, totalling €172,750.08 and covering a two-year period, will support his groundbreaking project PRUNE – Uncovering the Proteomic Radial Organisation within the Eukaryotic Nucleus – to study how the spatial arrangement of nuclear proteins contributes to optimal cell functioning.
By developing a sophisticated in vitro system coupled with advanced imaging techniques and CRISPR genome editing, an international team of researchers from Human Technopole (Italy) and the TUD Dresden University of Technology (Germany) shows that tubulin tyrosination/detyrosination regulates the bidirectional IFT train movement and avoids collision between trains moving in opposite directions along the cilium. The research was funded by the ERC and the DFG “Physics of Life” Excellence Cluster. The results are published in Nature Communications.
The public notice for the creation of a list of lawyers, from which legal representation assignments may be drawn in the interest of the Human Technopole Foundation, is now online.
