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 a large international collaboration, Human Technopole has contributed to the development of three complementary risk prediction models that estimate heart failure risk across the entire cardiovascular disease spectrum. Together, these tools enable transparent, data-driven risk assessment and support personalised treatment strategies and more sustainable healthcare delivery.
The Social Innovation Campus 2026 was a great success, bringing thousands of students to MIND to discuss social innovation, sustainability and the future of work. From 25 to 27 February, young people engaged with organisations, institutions and companies to explore how innovation can generate social impact. Human Technopole contributed to this collective effort through different voices and perspectives.

Lorenzo Calviello and his group of the Human Technopole’s Research Centres for Genomics and Computational Biology have been awarded a five-year My First AIRC Grant by Fondazione AIRC per la Ricerca sul Cancro. The grant provides over €99,000 for 2026, for a total of €500,000, to support a project aimed at identifying cancer-specific proteins that could serve as new immunotherapy targets in colorectal cancer.
Human Technopole researchers have identified the molecular mechanisms by which the membrane receptor sortilin binds thyroglobulin along its pathway to the release of thyroid hormones within the thyroid gland. The results of the research were published in Nature Communications and highlight that sortilin senses thyroglobulin via a short flexible “tag” which appears to be a common motif for the recognition of other partner proteins throughout our body.
