HT Research Ethics Committee: open call for external members
The Research Ethics Committee (REC) of the Human Technopole Foundation is responsible for evaluating scientific research projects and activities undertaken at Human Technopole (HT) so that they are ethically reviewed, cleared and monitored in accordance with national and international ethical laws, norms, principles, guidelines, standards and best practices regulating scientific research.
The REC is composed of an odd number of members, from a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 11 members, the majority of which should be external to HT. Committee members shall be appointed by HT’s Management Committee and shall possess a recognised expertise in ethics or other knowledge domains relevant to the mission of HT and the tasks of the REC. The term of office of each REC member is four years, renewable once.
A call is currently open to select the external members of HT’s Research Ethics Committee. Further information is available in the Annexes below.
Interested candidates should send in their application, as described in Annex 1, by 5pm on 25 August 2023 by PEC at htechnopole@pec.fondazioneht.it digitally signed or, if not digitally signed, attaching a copy of a valid identity document.
Two Human Technopole researchers have been awarded the Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship, one of the most prestigious fellowships for early career researchers: Dr. Carlos Jiménez and Dr. Albert Navarro Gallinad. Dr. Navarro Gallinad’s research project, presented today on National Women’s Health Day, will investigate the environmental risks faced by pregnant women by analysing almost 1,000,000 births in Lombardy over the last twelve years. Dr. Jiménez will study how the spatial arrangement of nuclear proteins contributes to optimal cell functioning.
Three young scientists from Human Technopole have, for the first time since its foundation, obtained a doctoral degree while pursuing their research within the institute: Alessandro Vinceti, Davide Castaldi, and Marco Tullio Rigoli, all enrolled in the systems medicine programme of the European School of Molecular Medicine (SEMM).
Milan also means research, and this year Human Technopole is taking part in the city’s promotional campaign for the Milan Design Week, which will take place from 15 to 21 April 2024.
Human Technopole’s Director Marino Zerial was invited last week to give the Lectio Magistralis during the inauguration ceremony of University of Genoa’s academic year 2023-2024.
