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.
Human Technopole has presented 102 research projects that were the first to benefit from the cutting-edge equipment of the National Facilities — the advanced technologies that the Institute makes available to external researchers from across Italy. The majority of studies focus on cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, accounting for 50% of the selected projects. The announcement was made this morning in Milan during “Open HT – The Open Day on Life Sciences”, an event designed to showcase Human Technopole’s achievements and outline future goals.
Human Technopole is offering up to 10 fully funded PhD scholarships through the SEMM PhD Program in Systems Medicine. These scholarships are open to talented and motivated graduates—both from Italy and abroad – interested in pursuing doctoral research.
Meet Alice Giustacchini, Research Group Leader in Population and Medical Genomics. Her project, titled “Tailoring Precision Immunotherapy to Paediatric Acute Myeloid Leukaemia,” aims to study the cellular and molecular dynamics of CAR-T cell therapy in blood cancers.
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.
