Human Technopole is now an Associate Partner of LifeTime, the pan-European research initiative that aims to revolutionise healthcare by tracking and understanding human diseases at single cell resolution to transform patients’ care and the sustainability of healthcare systems.
Joining the LifeTime community is an important opportunity for Human Technopole to build a strategic network of relevant European partners that share our ambition and goals.
Human Technopole’s mission is fully aligned with LifeTime’s overarching aim to tackle complex human diseases. Specifically, the three defining pillars of LifeTime (single-cell multiomics, organoids and machine learning-based deconvolution) are represented in HT by the close integration of Centres and Core Facilities featuring leading expertise in these fields.
Together with the University of Milan, the European Institute of Oncology (IEO) and the Sacco Hospital, Human Technopole is already part of the Italian branch of the initiative Lifetime for COVID19, which for the upcoming two years will be led by the Head of our Research Centre for Neurogenomics, Prof. Giuseppe Testa.
The LifeTime consortium gathers over 120 leading scientists from over 90 European research institutes. The University of Milan is the Italian partner of the consortium and other Italian associate partners include the European Institute of Oncology, Fondazione Istituto FIRC di Oncologia Molecolare, the Institute for Biomedical Technologies and the Institute of Photonics and Nanotechnologies of the Italian National Research Council as well as many prominent Italian universities.
On 13 April at 10.00 Human Technopole Foundation and Associazione Civita organise a debate among representatives of the cultural, research, political and industrial world to discuss the potential role of science and culture in relaunching the Italian economy on the eve of the presentation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. The virtual event will be streamed live on Human Technopole’s Facebook page as well as […]
We are excited to launch the first scientific Workshop on Content-Aware Image Restoration (CARE) on 19-21 May, hosted by Florian Jug, Head of HT Image Analysis Facility and with the participation of Anna Kreshuk, EMBL Heidelberg & Jan Funke, Janelia USA as speakers. The workshop is for up to 20 microscopy users/biologists from outside HT […]
A new study published today in Nature Communications and led by Francesco Iorio (Group Leader at the Research Centre for Computational Biology of Human Technopole) describes an unprecedented large integrative database of cancer dependencies. Cancer dependencies are genes that are selectively essential to the survival of cancer cells, and whose study should be prioritised for […]
The Human Technopole Foundation is pleased to invite you to a series of events to discuss science, innovation and society. In line with its mission, Human Technopole organises meetings, initiatives and activities aimed at promoting scientific dissemination to reinforce the message that science is a public good. Each ‘HT presents’ will take the cue from the recent publication of […]
Joint research projects, access to the cutting-edge equipment and exchange of researchers: these are some of the points mentioned in the Memorandum of Understanding between Human Technopole and the University of Turin. The agreement is co-signed by the Director of Human Technopole Iain Mattaj and the Rector of the University of Turin Stefano Geuna. The two institutes presented the agreement today […]
