HT on SuperQuark

Defeating tumours thanks to the support of computer scientists, mathematicians and statisticians. Creating predictive models and virtual simulations to prevent and cure cancer, favouring the spread of an increasingly personalised medicine. This is the aim of Human Technopole’s Computational Biology Research Centre which was the focus of an episode SuperQuark.

For over 25 years, Superquarkhas made science popular among the Italian prime time tv public and those who grew up in Italy must remember its iconic host, Piero Angela, explaining science, nature and technology in an engaging and inspiring way. 

A crew of the scientific dissemination programme filmed our laboratories and interviewed some of the researchers already active in Palazzo Italia, including Francesco Iorio computer scientists and Group Leader and Andrea Sottoriva, Head of the Computational Biology Research Centre.

On our social media channels you can have a sneak peak at the backstage photos of the filming.

The recording is available in streaming on the RaiPlay website.

  • CRISPRcleanR WebApp makes your life easier with CRISPR-Cas9 screens

    A web-based application developed by the Iorio Group and the IT & digitalisation team at Human Technopole helps non-computational scientists process and analyse CRISPR-Cas9 screens by reducing false-positive hits. CRISPR/Cas9 technology has become the gold standard for genome and epigenome editing, for studying the regulation of gene expression, and for high-throughput screenings aiming at identifying […]
