HT Welcomes the Scientific Community with the New External Seminar Series
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Human Technopole External Seminar Series, an initiative dedicated to bringing leading researchers from around the world on campus. These scientists, working in various life sciences disciplines, will share their latest research and insights with the HT and external scientific community.
Starting from 12 September with James Briscoe, with two dates in 2024, and continuing throughout 2025, Human Technopole will host talks by internationally renowned scientists who are making significant contributions in various fields, including genomics, neurogenomics, structural biology, computational biology, health data science, biophysical modelling, and molecular cell biology.
These seminars, free and open in presence to everyone, aim to create a space for intellectual exchange that bridges different areas of expertise, contributing to the broader scientific discourse and driving innovation in the study of human health and disease.
Each seminar will take place from 16.00 to 17.00 CET at the Human Technopole Auditorium in Milan. To participate, registration is required via the forms that will be made available.

Beyond cancer dependency maps: the PRECISE vision
PRECISE (Predictive Relationships Explaining Cancer Genetic Interactions and Synthetic Essentiality) is a pan-European initiative that aims to move cancer research beyond cataloguing cancer vulnerabilities towards predicting them before they are experimentally tested. Human Technopole (HT) is among the founding partners of the consortium, with Francesco Iorio leading its scientific activities across the institute alongside other HT research groups. The consortium and its scientific vision are presented in a Nature Genetics commentary.

Introducing Dollie LaJoie
Dollie LaJoie is a new Research Group Leader at Human Technopole, in the Molecular Cell Biology Research Centre. Her research explores how mutations in proteins can alter cell behaviour and contribute to human disease. By combining cell biology, biochemistry and crosslinking mass spectrometry, her Group will study diseases of the nuclear envelope and investigate the nucleus as a dynamic environment that responds to the specific needs of different cell types.
