Human Technopole’s National Facilities: new Call for Access now Open
The new call for Access to the National Facilities services is now open!
The Human Technopole’s National Facilities continue to expand their support for cutting-edge research by launching the first Call for Access of 2025. Building on the success of the 24-PILOT call, to which over 120 projects have applied, this new opportunity allows researchers to benefit from state-of-the-art technologies and expertise.
The aim of the National Facilities is to support scientific excellence, allowing researchers to access vanguard technologies within the omics, imaging and data analysis domains.
Researchers affiliated to Universities, IRCCS and public research entities across Italy can access the services offered by Human Technopole’s National Facilities, free of charge. Regular open calls for access are published throughout the year on the HT website.
Applications will be assessed by an external independent committee (Standing Independent Evaluation Committee) which will grant access based on the scientific quality and technical feasibility of the proposed project.
Following the launch of the first pilot call for access in June 2024, researchers across Italy enthusiastically responded, submitting over 120 applications to utilize the Human Technopole’s cutting-edge facilities for their innovative research projects.
Meet Clelia Peano, Head of the National Facility for Genomics. The Facility offers cutting-edge services to develop robust experimental and analytical workflows to explore different genomic research areas, including DNA and RNA analysis, chromatin structure, and epigenetic mechanisms regulating transcription. The goal is to enhance genomic research in all its aspects, benefiting the entire Italian scientific community.
Meet Nicola Maghelli, Head of the National Facility for Light Imaging at Human Technopole. The National Facility for Light Imaging is equipped with several high-end microscopy systems and instruments that enable both internal and external scientists to explore the microscopic world by imaging single cells and their components with high spatial and temporal resolution, potentially enhancing our understanding of diseases and paving the way for new therapies.
Meet Alberto Riva, Head of the National Facility for Data Handling and Analysis. The mission of the NF for Data Handling and Analysis is to support national research by providing advanced analysis of biological datasets from high-throughput genomic and imaging technologies.
Meet Paolo Swuec, responsible for running the Italy’s first Cryo-EM Facility and, today, Head of the National Facility for Structural Biology at Human Technopole: a hub for cutting-edge research, facilitating the structural characterization of biological entities, ranging from tissues to amino acid side-chains.
