Human Technopole signs an agreement with the University of Naples Federico II
In these days we have finalised the agreement with the University of Naples Federico II that will allow the implementation of many synergies. In particular, the agreement allows for the exchange of research staff at all levels and the development of collaborative projects in areas of common interest. Moreover, the involvement in training activities and the development of joint seminars, symposia and workshops will be promoted.
At Human Technopole we want to contribute to the progress of the country, acting as a reference point for the Italian scientific community, and we are committed to raising the profile of the Italian biomedical community through partnerships and collaborations with national and international subjects.
Researchers at the Human Technopole and Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics show how molecular cargo trains change direction in cellular micro-antennas. Cilia are antenna-like structures that protrude outwards from the surface of eukaryotic cells. Misassembled cilia in humans can cause numerous diseases from infertility to lung malfunction. The assembly and maintenance […]
Cilia are hair-like organelles that extend from most eukaryotic cells and perform many functions, including motility and signaling. Together with collaborators at the University of Geneva (Hamel-Guichard lab) and Biozentrum, University of Basel (Engel Lab), Dr. Gaia Pigino’s Group at the Human Technopole in Milan has now revealed that cilia have a specialised transport hub […]
Supervised classification methods can be used for the analysis of genetic screens obtained through the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology. Nevertheless, these methods require large sets of reference genes to be included among those targeted with CRISPR. Alessandro Vinceti, of the Iorio Group, presents a novel computational method to identify reference gene sets of minimal size […]
Recombination of retrotransposons is known to affect genome stability and evolution, yet the significance of this process and its impact on the genome of human somatic cells are poorly understood. Giovanni Pascarella and Piero Carninci set up a new framework enabling comprehensive studies of retrotransposon recombination-driven genomic diversity in healthy and diseased tissues. The DNA […]
Our Associate Head of the Health Data Science Centre has been appointed to a new task force created by Lombardy Region which aims to reduce waiting lists and verify the proper management in the provision of health services to citizens. The task force includes members from Lombardy Region Welfare General Management, ATS, ASST, Lombardy Health […]
