Life Science ecosystem in Milan: meeting with Swiss delegation
The Centre for Innovation and Technology Transfer (CITT) at Human Technopole and the Swiss diplomatic representation in Italy, in collaboration with YES MILANO, organised a day-long meeting between Swiss and Italian players working in the field of life sciences. The initiative followed a study tour that CITT experienced in Switzerland in June 2022 to get to know partners in the Swiss innovation ecosystem and pave the way for future collaborations and sharing of best practices on the topic of technology transfer.
The meeting, hosted at the Human Technopole headquarters within MIND – Milano Innovation District, allowed the various entities involved to initiate new relationships and strengthen existing ones.
The programme for the day included a presentation of the Milan life sciences ecosystem, coordinated by Piergiorgio Borgogelli of YES MILANO and involving: Margherita Chierici (TTO IRCCS Ca’ Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico), Daniela Bellomo (Business Development Director San Raffaele), Stefano Minini (Director Lendlease), Felice Lopane (Life Sciences Assolombarda Coordinator), Francesco Cerruti (General Manager Italian Tech Alliance), Paola Testori Coggi (Ambassador Federated Innovation MIND). In the second part of the programme, the Swiss delegation had the opportunity to introduce themselves to the Italian delegates in a pitching session followed by bilateral meetings.
Attached is a copy of the program.

Childhood Cancer: Free DNA in Blood Reveals Therapy Resistance
An international study coordinated by Milan’s Human Technopole, the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London, and the Royal Marsden Hospital in London has shown that certain DNA fragments found in the blood of paediatric cancer patients can be used as “biomarkers” to obtain information on the characteristics of the disease and its ability to resist therapies. Analysing these fragments could represent an effective alternative to tumour tissue biopsy, a practice that is particularly difficult in children.

The “tubulin code” in control of molecular train logistics in cilia
By developing a sophisticated in vitro system coupled with advanced imaging techniques and CRISPR genome editing, an international team of researchers from Human Technopole (Italy) and the TUD Dresden University of Technology (Germany) shows that tubulin tyrosination/detyrosination regulates the bidirectional IFT train movement and avoids collision between trains moving in opposite directions along the cilium. The research was funded by the ERC and the DFG “Physics of Life” Excellence Cluster. The results are published in Nature Communications.
