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.

In collaboration with an international team of scientists, HT researchers identified a missense mutation in a gene involved in brain-intrinsic immunity as the genetic cause of SARS-CoV-2 brainstem encephalitis.
A study by Human Technopole, the Institute of Cancer Research and the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust in London has shown that in prostate cancer the presence in the same tumour of cells with large differences in shape and genetic composition indicates an increased risk of relapse, including after a decade. The study may help doctors better tailor treatment for this disease, adopting more aggressive therapies in cases where these parameters indicate a higher risk of disease recurrence.
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.
