From EXPO Milano 2015 to EXPO Dubai 2020
Friday 2 October 2020 – Palazzo Italia hosts “Life Sciences: the Italian model of innovation and research ad EXPO 2020 Dubai”. The event is part of the “One Year to Go” initiative organized by the General Commission for Italy at EXPO Dubai 2020 and Cluster ALISEI to celebrate Italian excellences in the life sciences sector, one year from the launch of the Dubai 2020 Universal Exposition, the first post pandemic global event.
Italian Minister for Health Roberto Speranza will give opening remarks via video. Other speakers include the General Commissioner for Italy at EXPO 2020 Paolo Glisenti, President of Cluster ALISEI Diana Bracco, Human Technopole Foundation President Marco Simoni, Human Technopole Foundation Director Iain Mattaj and Italian virologist Ilaria Capua (on video).

Childhood Cancer: Free DNA in Blood Reveals Therapy Resistance
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.

The “tubulin code” in control of molecular train logistics in cilia
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.
