Milan, 26 March – Director Iain Mattaj and Giuseppe Testa, Head of Neurogenomics Centre signed a letter to the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, and the Governors of the Regions for a Covid19 National Anti-Counting Action Plan.
The appeal was promoted by Ruggero De Maria, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Rome; Andrea Grazian and Emilio Hirsch, University of Turin; Gioacchino Natoli and Pier Giuseppe Pelicci, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Milan; Giorgio Stassi, University of Palermo and Paolo Vineis, Imperial College, London and was signed by over 290 representatives of the scientific community.
A networked system of laboratories spread throughout the country and based on the expertise available in research centres could help to stop the acceleration of the pandemia. In fact, according to the signatories “the current containment strategies based on the identification of symptomatic subjects alone are not sufficient to rapidly reduce the spread of the contagion“.
Which brain connections coordinate the sense of sight with movement, for example maintaining stable vision while walking or moving our eyes? How is cholesterol formed and what functions does it have in its intermediate steps? These are the topics of the research projects awarded the Early Career Fellowship Programme, a call for proposals launched by […]
The first symposium on “Gender Equality and Diversity at HT” took place today at the Human Technopole Auditorium. The aim of the event was to discuss why there are differences in the career outcomes of men and women and how we can act to promote equality and inclusion at HT. During the event we heard from Gerlind […]
The Supervisory Board of the Human Technopole Foundation has appointed Marino Zerial as the institute’s new Director. Currently Director of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, a research institution he helped found over 25 years ago, Marino Zerial is also an honorary professor at the Faculty of Medicine […]
Magda Bienko, Group Leader at the Functional Genomics Centre at Human Technopole has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant for her research project “Radialis”. The project, which has earned a funding of 2 million euros, aims to understand the design principles shaping genome architecture. Within our cells, DNA is folded in a three-dimensional structure. The […]
A web-based application developed by the Iorio Group and the IT & digitalisation team at Human Technopole helps non-computational scientists process and analyse CRISPR-Cas9 screens by reducing false-positive hits. CRISPR/Cas9 technology has become the gold standard for genome and epigenome editing, for studying the regulation of gene expression, and for high-throughput screenings aiming at identifying […]
